but I might have a wo-man crush on Ana White.
I've got a half-dozen plans all lined up for the next few weeks (hopefully) or . . . months (probably).
Psst! Like this one or this one!
So. . .
what's on today's agenda? Oh, the awesomely easy-peasy book ladder-shelf.
I thought this would be purrrr-fect and very much needed in my son's room.
Yeah, I built this in my kitchen. On my kitchen island. Judge me.
I'm freezing my baguettes off out in the gay-rage. Think: Harry & Lloyd's frozen snot icicles. Serious. I'm not going out there again. And you can't make me!
Do you wanna know what's nice about this project? It's cheap, and more importantly:
it took an hour to build.
Oooorrrr, it would have,
Had I not seriously jammed the nailgun. Never fear-- my boy-toy fixed it for me. That's what he's here for. (I asked him if I could call him that from now on; he just rolled his eyes.)
Man, I love a quick project. (Unlike that time-sucking dollhouse I just completed.)
So do you wanna see it? 'Cause I love it and am sorely tempted to make another.
Voila.
Totally worth an hour (ish) of my time, right? Right?

Cute!! And you can't beat a 1-hour project! :)
I've had a crush on Ana from the moment I laid eyes on her plans. She's my hero. And then some...
Aloha,

You are such a woman. My husband is envious of your work. And your comment about snot-icicles made me think of this: http://lolzombie.com/1463/frozen-boogers/
Awesome! Nothing sexier than a handy man, or woman in my opinion. Just sayin'

Love this! We are all about children's books here. I could cover an entire room with a project like this.
cute!!! And even better that it didn't take a long time to make. I love projects like that. Can't wait to see what else you've got planned!
Love it! And the added molding! When you make another one, can I have it?
I love it! Do you think if I built this then my 2 1/2 year old may be more inclined to put all her damn books away because more than once just this week I have wanted to have a good old fashioned book burning in the yard.

Mandi,
Is this resting on the wall or attached to it somehow? All the kids I know would try to climb this book or no books.

P.S. You are one gifted lady and WHERE is the dollhouse?
Mandi - great project! And the dollhouse? Wanna see!!!
I love it! You rocked that!
OMG! You are a carpentry god! This would be perfect for craft storage...think I could build one as a beginner? (PS: I recently bought a Skil Saw. SOOOOOO much fun. I'm going to post the wardrobe project I did recently...ummm, soon. Like really soon. Just straight cuts, but you'd be proud!)
An hour?!?! That's amazeballs. You're totally my building inspiration.
