Our Bookshelf

 It turns out 12 foot boards neither fit in an elevator nor a stairwell...

 ...but they do go over the balcony nicely!

 Husband hard at work while I document the process ;)

 I love it! And the lovely plant from my mother-in-law. 

Night-time + poor apartment lighting = dark pictures. 

I will post day-time pictures of the finished product soon.

Four 1 X 10 X 12s, One 1 X 10 X 10, Two 4 X 4 X 10s, a few hours staining and cutting the boards to length, pulling those boards up through the balcony because 12' boards don't fit in elevators or stairwells, & finally the assembly and decoration.

As promised: day-time pictures.
