When we first saw this house, I asked the realtor what that was for. She said, "I don't know, a T.V.?" ..... Ok, we don't have a T.V. that would fit in there, and why would we want one in the dining room, anyway?? So for months and months, our dining room has been the home of boxes and we haven't done anything with the strange shelving unit. I called our landlord right after we moved in to ask permission to redo it. He seemed kinda skeptical, but said that he would trust me to make it look better. To be honest, I'm not sure I could make it look worse! haha So when my parents came to visit us, I took advantage of my dad's skills and had him help me finally turn this thing into something I can use. Drum roll, please.........
Ta-da! My dad tore out the old shelves and measured the space to see what we were dealing with. We painted the inside walls and the edging so that it would look clean and match the white trim around the floor. We purchased new shelves and installed them. Hopefully to my landlord's liking, we installed them so that they can be moved around (just in case someone in the future does want to use it for a T.V.). And finally, here is another picture with stuff in it's place.
I'm already in love with it. :) Now we just need to put up the rest of the things piled in the dining room so that we can put up our table.....
