Furniture and Fun

Today I built the second of Gigi's toy shelves for her bedroom. I built one on Monday and, despite my complete lack of any handyman skills whatsoever, it came out quite well if I do say so myself. When I got home today, I still had a good amount of time before Denise would be home and I decided to shock everyone (well...Denise anyway) and put the second one together while I waited. It went far quicker today and I did not even injure myself this time (nasty scratch on my leg while I built the first...still not sure how I did that). Now they are both sitting side by side in her room-one on its side and the other standing up straight. It looks like a "J" lying on its side and is made up of 16 squares between the two shelves. Her toys and such will go inside those squares and her TV will sit (securely) on the lower of the shelves. This will also leave room for her magic wall on the opposing wall...more on that in a future blog. In any case, the point is that, little by little, Gigi's room is starting to actually take on the characteristics of a little girl's room. I just can't wait to see how she likes it!!
