It took a while to choose a color for the living room, but we decided on Stone Brown using Sherwin Williams paint.  I had to do a lot of taping over cracks that had formed around doors and windows.  Then, I mudded all of the walls with a setting type joint compound that you have to mix.  Its a lot stronger and will hold instead of cracking with the old walls.  All of the trim also got a new fresh coat.

We also replaced the pillows, light fixture, and got a Dalyn wool rug.  We plan to replace the entertaintment center at some point to complete the room.

I’ve been looking around for a shelf system that could hold wine bottles and glasses, unfortunately I couldn’t find anything that fit the space in our dining room, so I decided to make something!

I basically bought a 48″ stair tread from Lowes and some 1×4’s.  I already had the wine bottle holder pieces from an old bottle rack, I just had to strip and cut them to fit this piece.  All the wood is held in place by Gorilla wood glue.  I pre-stained all of the pieces before gluing them on and then after doing a little touch-up staining, I applied a single coat of satin polyurethane.  The iron brackets I got off of ebay and then painted them.  I only have one complete, but the other one will be identical and will be placed under this one.  Turned out fantastic!
