Another DI Discovery

As the new semester begins, we have once again been overwhelmed by the "too many books, not enough bookshelves" problem. However, thanks to Brandon's ingenuity, we've found a solution. He discovered this cabinet for at DI for $8--it had several rows of slots like you might find in a mailroom and was lightweight yet durable. We took out some of the shelves so it could hold books, and--voila!--a more efficient "office " space (actually, it's our kitchen table, but it's a very professional-looking kitchen table now!). Now we just need to get a runner of some kind to hide the scratches in the finish... Still, definitely a bargain.


In other news, here's Brandon standing at the trail-end cliff edge by Stewart Falls.

I like it, the shelf, not Brandon standing close to the falls. Was he going to fall?

Alison, you look so professional sitting at your kitchen table.
We are proud of you. Hugs!!!

I love the shelf, very clever and it looks very functional, I could use something like that to sort my mail.

Looks like a great find - probably was once in an office to sort forms or copy paper colors!
