I have a thing for wood and building things...
I wouldn't call it an obsession...
I just really enjoy it.
I saw a cute shelf the other day as I was scrolling through Amazon looking for something we needed... wink, wink, ... I decided that shelf would look so cute on our bookcase in the living room. So instead of clicking to buy it... which is what most people would do... I've been guilty of that plenty of times... (ask my husband)... I hopped on lowes.com to see how much it would be to build my own. Now this option isn't always the cheapest because the cost of wood is so darn much, but its what I love to do... so I did.
The nice thing about making your own wood projects is that you usually have left over pieces of wood so then you can just make more projects :)
