Before and after.

Jared and I bought a bookshelf from IKEA to use as a TV stand about a month ago. We didn’t really think about the fact that the cords would show through since there was no back. Well, I’d had enough of that, so I picked up some craft paper and foam board from the craft store to fix it up. I am bad at measuring things and even worse at cutting in a straight line, but somehow I managed to make it work. It’s far from perfect, but I think it’s an improvement from the original. I have about a million other little projects I’d like to do to get our apartment into shape. If only I had an unlimited budget…

P.S. sorry about the unintentional Lowes ad on the after picture of the TV – I forgot to turn it off before I took my picture.
