Zebrawood Shelf!

Later this month, Rob and I will celebrate the 2-year anniversary of becoming homeowners. If you think that means that we've completed all those tasks we planned to do before we moved in, you're wrong. If you think that means that we still don't have unpacked boxes, you're wrong again. As is the case, or so we've found, one project typically begets another, and our To Do lists tend only to grow.

When we moved in, we joined the ranks of *those* people who own one of *those* TVs. We initially didn't plan to put anything on the wall behind it, lest we detract from the HD awesomeosity. Over time, we decided that we were ready for something to complement the TV and not take away/distract from it.

Originally, we planned to make a simple canvas out of printed fabric. We liked the pattern in the store, but nixed it when we got home (and it became a curtain - see below). Then we got the idea to make a floating shelf for plants. And just like that, another project was born.

Finished! We can cross something off the list!
