hang10tiki you are a master of photoshopping. I save them all.

=============================================================

The Dreaded Domino Effect is Back!
On our trip I could a cheap shelving unit that I couldn't resist. It was the right size for mugs.
I swore I could find a place for it so we brought it home. Well it looks like the nook is getting another place for mugs.
You can see in this photo how Dan is filling up the new shelves with mugs that have been in cupboards for a long time.

Dan came up with the idea of where the shelves would fit but we would need to raise a painting and two wood carvings.
That sounded really good to me because I wanted to swap the painting in the nook for one on the stairway in this photo.

Here's what we needed to move.

I told Dan how I thought we could get the shelf to stay in place so we got some wood strips and he drilled some holes for screws.

I started all the screws in these holes.

I held the shelf in place while he attached the first strip. It wasn't deep enough to hold the shelf so we did the whole procedure again. This time the shelf would hold my weight so I knew it could hold some mugs.

In place. We also put screws into the wall through the blue backing.

Now we put up the artwork above it and

hung the tapa at the stairway.

Now it will be fun for Dan to finish filling all these shelves.

Cheers, Wendy
