Work Bench - Finished!

Yes! I was able to find some free time this weekend and powered through the second part of my work bench. Thanks to Abby, whose invaluable help sitting on the finished portion placing dozens of screws in the peg board holes, and to my sister and her husband for arriving at a key moment where additional hands made the remaining bench go together in a fraction of the time.



I have started putting away some of my tools and miscellaneous items. The next step will be to get the rest of the shop cleaned out so I can actually have a place to work on projects.



Now I actually have room to keep my bench top power tools. Here you can see my drill press and my scroll saw. you can also see I have plenty of shelf space for storage.



One project done. Now on to finishing Wally's room, Jess's shelf, Jess's storage unit, and of course my abacus.

The Decals

We successfully transferred the crib to Wally's room (and Abby to her new toddler bed). The changing table will probably wait until closer to Wally's birth so we can continue to use it for Abby.



The decals came in the mail. We originally thought we would use stencils but Jess found these great decals on LeenTheGraphicsQueen.etsy.com. We were able to customize the colors. They were extremely easy to apply, and went up in minutes. Here is the tree that is next to Wally's crib.



And our little family of birds went up above Wally's closet.
