Built-ins

Hallway bead board....framed pics will go above it.

Bedroom bookcase

Studio paint shelves



When ever I asked Troy if he could build me something.....his answer has always been " Sure!" So, as I lay in bed at night, thinking about the house and how much fun it's going to be living in it, I come up with " ideas". One of them was a bookcase, in my bedroom, behind the door going to the sun room. I have so many books and I didn't know what I was going to do with them besides stack them on the floor. This will solve my problem. Troy even came up with the idea of using the left over bead board that he put in the hallway, to go behind the shelves. It's going to be painted white to match all the trim. I love it! The next idea I had...was for all my paint bottles in my studio. I had Troy ...actually, I think it was Tommy who built it but who ever built it....thank you, cause I love it too! It's behind the door and the shelves are just the size to hold one row of paint bottles. ...but it goes all the way to the floor. It will also be painted white. My last idea...was for the kitchen. It's on the wall that is behind the french door...going to the back porch. Troy made a BIG frame...from the top of the door to almost the floor and Tim ( the painter) is going to paint the frame white and the inside with chalk board paint. One giant blackboard!!!! Won't it be so much fun to draw on it? Troy said it was for Chuck's " honey do list" that was going all the way down to the floor. I told Troy at the bottom of it...it would say " call Troy and his number". Troy said..".ha...that number will be erased. " LOL. We have laughed a lot with building this house.
