Doug the builder, can he fix it?!?

(Oh, wow. We haven't watched Bob the Builder in a very, very long time)

Remember when i was looking for a dresser for Penny and Owen's room?  Well, i refused to buy another ikea dresser (we've owned about 20 of them) then I went to this local guy that refurnishes old vintage-y pieces, and there was some amazing stuff but i knew if I brought that home doug would say, "i can build that."  

So, since Doug had a slow work week last week,  he decided to do just that.  He found a table saw on Craigslist and that just opened up a whole new world of building for him.  


Here's the final product, all customized with dividers and everything. He also found a spray gun on craigslist (I really heart craigslist.)


 
I absolutely love it!  The only sad part is that it's now all hidden away in the kids closet.

Doug has always been so talented. I'm kind of jealous you have such a handy hubby. What a beautiful edition!

oh wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doug you have some really good hidden talent there.

Too bad you have to put it in the closet...

I, too, am jealous. I love everything about it. Would pay huge $$$$ for that. extra cash maybe on the side for you??? Im sure some of those El-A-ers would totally go for.
