Behind the scenes

Sometimes the little projects make the biggest impact, even if they are really "unseen" to most people.
 I "finished" this hutch project a number of months ago, and it has been very useful, mostly for holding the family treasures (ie Lego projects).

 One thing left unfinished though that no one but myself would know is that I never installed the back of the lower part of the hutch.
 And since it housed mostly Legos, it didn't really bother me but so much!  Until....I moved it to the other room.  And all the Legos fell out.  Reminder: No back. 
 I now had the leftover beadboard from the bathroom, and that was perfect to fit onto the back.  In about 15 minutes, I had a new back to my bookshelf and a new place for storage! 
 
 It all fit perfectly from top to bottom, and I only had to make one cut for the last panel.
Now I have a new place to store piano music and odds and end that don't really look great on the bookshelf.  And yes, the Legos have been relocated (for now).  I'm sure some of them will make there way back down here. At least they won't go crashing out the back!
