I Stained Something!

And it looks good!

We were in need of a small (cheap!) shelf to put our internet crap on so we hit up Ikea a couple of weekends ago.

We came home with this-

Whew I do not like that natural wood look. Chris saw it first and the price was right so I told him we could only get it if I could stain it. He agreed.

Of course this warranted a trip to Home Depot (yuck) but I knew exactly what I was looking for, so it wasn't too bad.

Small can of stain- $7.

Paint brushes- $2.

Trashbags to cover my table and an old rag- free!

Shelf- $15

Getting all of the internet boxes/wires/crap out of sight- priceless.

I didn't have a before picture, but trust me, anything would look better than it used to.
