Bookcases are DONE!

Well everyone, I am happy to report that at long last our lovely bookshelves are finished! Backstory: we bought these bookshelves and our tv stand at an unfinished furniture store last spring, and decided to stain them ourselves. I finished the tv stand right away, after which I realized from experience that it was harder and more time consuming than I imagined, and so the dreaded bookshelves sat... and sat... and sat some more, until finally we got it together and just did it already! Sanding, conditioner, two coats of stain, and two coats of sealant later... finished!

I was so happy with how they turned out, and it is great to be able to look at the three pieces and realize (a) we did that and (b) we saved a lot of money!

Here they are...
