I painted the board all white, but I just wasn't feeling it. I came inside and asked Sam what I should do, and he said, "put a bird on it!"
It was half a joke, half serious, because my brilliant husband knows I actually think birds on things are great.
I penciled out a design and then painted it in with some black paint.
Not too bad, if I do say so myself. I think the backing is kind of fun and makes the sort of hoboish shelves look a little more like it's supposed to be this way.
They are super heavy though. I'm going to need some strong brothers to come move it into the house for me!
