Braggin' on my sweetie!

My sweetie (aka Dwayne) is such a caring person - this is one example from the house that I documented.

Many years ago, Dwayne made this really nice and very useful bookcase in the bedroom we used as an office. He noticed just before the house was to go onto the market that the seam between the top part and the bottom part was showing and wanted to correct that before the house would be seen by a future buyer.

The bookcase was made in two parts because otherwise it was too large to get into the room. You can see the seam between the top and the bottom.

The seam really wasn't too obvious from the front, but from the side (which was right by the door of the room), it could be noticed.

He had a small board that he measured and cut to fit (with the tiny saw on his multi-tool as we did not have many tools with us).

After a coat of paint, it looks like it has always been there!

This gives you a better view of the whole bookcase. He made it specifically for the types of books that we had - some large "coffee table" books (that went into the areas on the sides at the top), and then other size books - paperbacks, hardbacks, technical books - almost every shelf is a different height to provide a place for all the different books we had!

I had always thought of this room as an office, but it was not staged for this time on the market. The lady who did the staging said she thought it would be a great little girl's room with space on the shelves for dolls and accessories. So, better to leave it unstaged and the buyers can determine how they want to use it!
