Craig's Home Improvement Projects

When we bought our house, Craig decided we needed one of those locker-style benches for the kids to keep their jackets, shoes, and backpacks in.  He set about designing and building it, and it turned out beautifully!!!  We love it so much!

And now it's time I blogged about it, don't you think?

Cutting and painting pieces, and storing them in the garage.  I had to be careful not to hit them when I parked!

Assembling it all...

The top part


And the bottom part attached, too, with the backing leaned against it for show
We spent a long time debating what color baskets to get-- finally we decided that teal worked well with the garage's yellow walls
Then Craig added LOTS of hooks (and notice how he fitted it to the electric outlet!)
And added each kids' initial.  You have NO IDEA how long it took us to pick those letters-- deciding between size, font, and color was too much!!!
Proud Craig!

While he was organizing the garage, Craig also built this nifty little shelf to hold our camping chairs


And he added these baskets to hold various sports paraphernalia (he built the bike rack last year)
And here are the kids actually using their bench!  Success!!!

Having a handy husband can be so great!  Our garage is looking awesome now!

Wow, that is all very impressive! I especially like the bike rack (where are the grown-ups bikes and various other n+1 bikes though?) Can Craig come organize our garage as well? :)
