Our New Decorative Piece...

This summer when we went to Illinois to visit Adam's family, we got this beautiful bench that Adam's grandpa so kindly made for us. For a while I have been wanting to add a shelf above it for hanging coats on:

Here is the before picture of the bare wall in much need of something...
The shelf that I found at Hobby Lobby for only $15:
Adam hard at work staining the shelf to our dark wood preference:
And... the finished product, that we are quite pleased with:
Now if Louisville weather would just cooperate and get cold, we would actually need to use our coats and coat rack! :-)
Next project is to make a bench cushion, as we're just using a folded blanket right now...
