One Day.....

Oh one day, I will stay on top of my blog, write/type all about my "woe is me" days. One day.....

So a lot goes on here at the "homestead" (we're not a farm, per say, so we call ourselves a "homestead"). We have chickens......

 15 of them to be exact, all hens. We love them... 

Then, we adopted two, yes two, German Shepherds. Because that's always a good idea when you already have a full house :)

This is Lyla (left)and Meeka (right). We love them too....they keep things, ummm, fun.  

AND THEN, Hubby decided he wanted to finally make public his side hobby, gun stocks and woodworking. So, Barnes Stocked and Loaded was "born". 

I do have quite the talented husband. I have been trying to use Facebook primarily for our advertising, you can find us here, Barnes Stocked and Loaded. I will add our website as soon as I'm finished. 

So, the real reason for my post. I LOVE PINTEREST! Like borderline obsessed stalker. (probably like most) I make Hubby so mad when I find stuff and insist on recreating what I have seen. Sometimes I'm successful in achieving what I set out for. Our kitchen being one, post of another day. But today, I want to share with you, our awesome book shelf! 

This was completely free, made from the original rain gutters we found in the garage, left behind from the previous owners. 

We left them,unpainted, and just clear coated over (so no original paint would chip off). 

CHECK OUT THAT HARDWARE! LOVE IT!

This project was completely inspired by this "pin" I found awhile back, Rain Gutter Bookshelf. These are nice, DO NOT GET ME WRONG, but I like mine more. :)

 I love reusing items, especially found here at the house, to create something usable for our family!
