I mentioned in a previous post how handy my husband is... and here is the evidence! A few months ago, I was at frustration point with our morning routine of trying to get myself and my 2 children out the door on time without feeling frazzled and rushed. I was getting irritated at not having a central place for things like keys, sunnies, jewellery, and was sick of running back and forth between different rooms to grab the essentials for the kids - shoes, hats, coats, water...the list goes on! So I asked hubby if he could build a console - basically a stylish piece of furniture for the entryway that could serve double purpose as handy and functional storage for all the essential bits and bobs.
