Here's a quick update picture on the two bookcases that will form the base of my new sewing desk. They're a little dark, because it's threatening to rain today. I just rushed out to put a second coat of paint on the outside, so hopefully the rain will hold off for an hour so I can bring them in. The outside and trim work on the case is pale green, and the inside is pale yellow. The colors are exactly what I was hoping for. My sewing room is going to be so cheerful! If the cases look a little odd to you, it's because they're missing something--the top. The tops you see here are the "sub-tops" and the design calls for an additional top that is a bit larger. Since these will be under a big desk top, the desk will be the "top-top." Clear as mud?
I love the colour! I just wish I had a speck of building ability.
