Cute Minty Green Bookcase

Our friends have been searching for a display cabinet for their daughter's dolls for a couple of years. A few weeks ago, my husband offered to make one for them. They got exactly what they wanted.  And, being custom made, the beadboard and feet match the other furniture in her adorable room. 




It took him two weekends to go from boards to the finished product.
















I love the mint green color.



He added a couple of pieces of moulding to make a pretty crown.




She now has a place to display all of her favorite things.

It was funny that one of our friends came over right before we delivered it.  She said, "I hope they don't like it, because I will buy it immediately if they don't!"  (They did like it)  :)




Thanks for your visit.  And thank you for all of the heartfelt comments about Max.  I sincerely appreciate the love!

    I am officially WOW-ED!!! Your hubby is so talented. I especially liked seeing the shelves and parts hanging from the garage door rails. Clever.
    I like the mint green too. ~Pat

    The two of you are a match made in heaven. Both so skilled and hard-working. I miss seeing you on a regular basis. Don't you want to move back to CA? That shelf is amazing. When I first saw it, before reading your detail, I was thinking, what would the shipping cost to CA be on that thing? I would have paid it...

    That turned out great, I just love it. Would your hubby mind stopping by and making me a custom corner hutch. I have been looking for the perfect one for 3 years now, and no luck. If you loan him out let me know. LOL
