Baby Furniture

I am close to being done with the baby furniture (bookcase and toy chest) that I have been building for the last few weeks. It has been a fun and long experience and I am hoping that it will last for many years. I really am enjoying that I can custom build the 2 pieces to the size I want but at the same time, that is taking a lot more work since I do not have plans to go off of. So last night, I painted my first coat of paint on the pieces tomato red. We went to Home Depot and looked for red paint but that did not exist so we went with the next best thing, tomato. I guess red paint is out of style. The reason we wanted red was both pieces will look like barns, very fun. So, in the middle of painting the bookcase, I started to have some deep thoughts about why am I building a book case. I am building something to hold the kids books yet the kid can't even read and for the toy chest, she won't even be able to lift her head let alone a toy over it. I guess i will put this in my future investment bucket.
