My Family Engagement Party

This past Saturday, my side of the family gave us an engagement party at the home of my Aunt Teresa and Uncle Ricky. We had such a great time, and I always love seeing how Gantt fits into our family perfectly. Here are some pictures from the party:

our cake: they first misspelled Gantt's name and had to redo it. then they misspelled my name! oh well, it was still delicious!

I Built Our Hanging Bathroom Cabinets!

Bring on the storage! When Gantt and I moved into our new apartment, there was a little less storage than I had remember especially in the bathroom. After the search for hanging cabinets was unsuccessful, I again took matters into my own hands. By modifying the wall shelf plan from Ana White  I built us some hanging bathroom cabinets to give us a little more space. Here are some pictures from that project...

For the doors, I actually used open back frames. I cut a pieces of plywood, covered it with batting and fabric, and then hung with hinges!
