So I pull up to the “Nick’s Handyman Drive-thru” and roll down my window.
“Thank you for choosing Nick’s, what can I build for you today?”
“Yes hi! Ummmm… I’d like to order two floating shelves 2’x4.5″x2″, and a rack to hold books in the same length, and ahhhh, I’ll finish that off with a little coat rack with hooks that I’ll supply.”
“Is that all?”
“Yes, for today. You know I’ll be back tomorrow!”
“Please pull forward to the first window.”
All jokes aside, that is almost exactly how things happen around here. And I’m lucky enough to have a guy that gets great joy out of building things and trouble shooting. He whipped out my order in NO time. First came the floating shelves:

Hello Beth, just came across your site. Love all the things you’ve done. You are inspiring!! I love DIYing as well, and have had this idea of bringing some features of my draperies to my wood pieces but haven’t figured out how too. Then I saw yours!! Can you advise how you did this and brought to scale??? Thank you!
You have Lovely family! God Bless.

Your nursery is absolutely incredible! I’ve always wanted plantation style windows, just scares me with little ones running around.. but Im sure you could always put some sort of window gate/fence over it when they get old enough/daring enough to push on the windows or screens! Very nice job though, as I am being not so complimentary but my normal worrisome self.. sorry!

I just came upon your site today as I was looking for “backsplash” ideas and I read your entire site! You have such a cute and touching story and I’m so happy that you have 2 little bundles of joy who are due soon 😀 (I’m due with a boy July 29th).
You’re giving me tons of ideas for our nursery! And our kitchen! We may just have to get in touch later as our kitchen is in demo mode right now as we are remodeling our new farm house.
Yay for being almost done baking these babies!

What does Nick charge for his handy work?
I’d LOVE some shelves like that and a book shelf too!

I want a handyman drive-thru 🙂
LOVE the reading nook you’ve created and especially love the sentimentality of all the items…it makes them seem like they all go together even though they are from different moments in time.
