I finally finished painting the bookcases so my husband could install them. He spent all day finagling with them, until late afternoon, the project was complete: 3 bookcases and one cabinet with a gorgeous butcher block countertop all installed around our oven in the middle of the kitchen like an island and ready to go. And they really do look amazing. I couldn't wait to put our board games and magic cards on the shelves, so that's how I spent the rest of my afternoon before Magic Pizza Tuesday, getting everything ready before our guests arrived. The shelves I chose for the magic cards coincidentally perfectly fit 40 of our commander decks. And *almost* all of the board games we own fit on the shelves; some lesser known and rarely played games will have to remain in the back room. I am so very happy with the results of this endeavor. Now my husband has to build one more cabinet (and I have to paint it) to complete the island section of the kitchen, and I still have to finish painting all the existing cabinetry in the kitchen. I also need to touch up the kitchen walls so my husband can reinstall the trim. And of course, we need to remove the stupid radiators (which will require me to do more wall painting) and complete the radiant heat flooring. And *then* the kitchen will be complete! Until then, I will delight in what we currently have, especially the spacious shelves and the magnificent butcher block countertop.
With delight,
♥Jamie
