Today is a very important day! It's Nate's birthday! The big 33. So old. Luckily he appears to be getting better with age.
To celebrate Nate becoming elderly, let's discuss how he built our living room built-ins. This post is heavy on pictures. Light on words. Just like my husband. Pretty on the eyes, easy on the ears.
Pretend that makes sense.
We recently revealed the finished built-ins.

Sooo, I debated even writing this post. I don't consider styling one of my life strengths. Napping, yes. Dog snuggling, yes. Repainting every room in my house, yes. Styling no.
I am, however, happy with how the styling on our living room built-ins turned out. I mentioned previously that I still plan to add more books but I think this is the max amount of knick-knacks these shelves will see. I'm in the camp that bookshelves should hold mainly books. There is a "bookshelves full of things" camp too. I'll let you decide how you want to spend your Summer. No judgement on this end.

Hydrocodone (a pain med) becomes a schedule II medication today. That means lots more paper work and annoyance for pharmacy staff. If you're picking up a med today, be extra nice to your pharmacist. We'll totally appreciate any friendliness we can get!
Anywho, enough boring day job talk. Let's talk about how we installed our barn beam mantel.
Last week we shared our built-in cabinets. Part of our built-in plan was to update the fireplace/mantel. I picked up this barn beam from a craft night friend a few months back. It was pretty much meant to become our new mantel. Unfortunately it had to sit in our garage until just recently. I whispered sweet nothings to it as I would walk by on our nightly walks. I promised I'd give it a proper place in our home as quickly as I could boss Nate around.
