A Project

This wall used to have a window.  When we added our Florida room this window got drywalled.  I have been wanting to remove the drywall and put shelving in.  It was only a thought until the folks at Wood You Like to Craft featured shelves and wanted links. 

Naturally it was about midnight last night when I decided to remove the drywall.

After dropping the kids off at school (and having a nice little chat with Anthony's teacher) I went to Lowe's for supplies.  You know that you go to Lowe's too often when you are greeted by name and asked what project you are doing! 

I brought my wood home, measured my opening and built a simple box.

Thankfully the box fit into the opening.  I didn't do a dry fit which could have been a problem if I hadn't measured correctly.

I put trim around it and painted everything.

I am happy with the results and wonder why it took me so long to tackle the project.

What do you think?
