You wouldn't want all bench and no shelves, right? Speaking of shelves - um, DDG! (Drop Dead Gorgeous!) I love them. I think they turned out fantastic, and it makes me so jealous that you can do this. (Scott would NEVER let me paint the woodwork, and large brown wood shelving units floor to ceiling in our dining room would make the room even more looming! Ah, so, I'll live vicariously through you! :) <br />So jealous! <br />You're amazingly talented my friend. So much vision! I think you'll need some of my crystal bottles for your shelves though.
