copy cat (or elephant)

Bret and I both have a love for animals so we decided to impose this same love into our forthcoming child by having animal decor in his bedroom. As I was browsing the web for ideas, I found this unique and cute little elephant bookcase from Dwell.

Unfortunately (but not surprisingly) it was a little pricey, so I showed it to Bret and he said he could make something like it, and he did. I think he did a fine job.

My niece, Norah, testing it out.

We love animals too! And yes, Dwell has some really cute mod animal prints; I just wish they weren't so dang expensive! I'll probably just make all our bedding (and other artwork) for the baby. I can't wait to see how your baby room turns out Laura! And way to go, Bret; that is impressive.

$125?!?! For a little wooden elephant?! Pricey, that's for sure!
I'm glad Bret is quite the handyman. Turned out great!
