Do you remember me blogging about this cute repurposed entertainment center?
It started out looking like this...
Well today is the day.
One of our tasks on our shopping trip/super failed date night, was to get what we needed to make one out of our old entertainment center. This was our first stop and where we were when we got the call that Ayla was puking her brains out.
Great.
Anyway...I'm not bitter.
SOOO....I had showed the photo to Paul months ago.
He said he could do it.
But when we went to find a sink/facet, they were super expensive and I couldn't figure out why the woman that blogged it had said it was so cheap.
Well I went back and actually read the directions thoroughly.
(i struggle with fully reading things....like emails about practices and christmas concerts and stuff)
So I read that she bought the sink and faucet at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.
Huh?
What's that?
I'd never heard of it.
But we found one...right here in the Quad Cities!
And let me just tell you this....we found the cutest sink ever!
I cannot wait until this is done.
It's going to be so fun!
So we got the sink, faucet, and trim to go around the fake window for $26.
Wowser.
So pumped.
I think we have almost everything else in our basement.
So here it is.
This is what we are starting with...
I told Paul, "Just use these directions as a guide. Do whatever you want with it. I just want it to have a sink and an oven."
And you know what? He's super creative.
Don't let him tell you any different.
He loves to build stuff.
I just went down to check on him and honestly, ours is going to be even cuter than the one in the above photo.
He's even installed a cabinet!
I can't wait until it's done.
And we leave on Wednesday...so it needs to be done soon.

sooo cute! can't wait to see the finished product. good to see you today--sorry you had to wait for me to get home :(
You are amazing... we don't have a basement to work in so we've been sneaking work in when it's warm enough to be in the garage. And, it wasn't done for our Christmas on Saturday. But, it's going to be fun when it gets done (prob mid-Jan). Can hardly wait to see yours :+)
can't wait to see the finished project! cool!!!
