Finished Half Wall and Decorating with Books

Part One of our Half Wall ProjectAfter the wall was finished we were left with a hollowed out space on one side that opened up into our family room. We could have closed off the entire wall but I wanted to add 2 long shelves that ran the whole length of the space. The shelves were built out out pine and plywood - using pine for the main part of the shelf and the plywood as supporting pieces. There was room for a third shelf but I didn’t think I would be left with much height on the shelves to add decor so we went with two. I used Minwax Stain in Jacobean and American Chestnut mixing the two shades together to stain the shelves. I love the rich contrast and the way the wood shelves look against the white wall. I'm really happy with how the shelves turned out - just like I envisioned in my head!

The actual build of the wall, shiplap, and shelves came out relatively easy, and it was the styling that was harder than planned. Because the shelves are so long it was a challenge to find enough pieces and then to make everything flow together and look cohesive. I did have to take quite a few trips to Home Goods, TJMaxx, and a few thrift stores, but that is the fun part! Books are one of my favorite things to use in home decor - they are fairly inexpensive and add height, texture, and color. Second hand stores like Goodwill or Deseret Industries are my go to places for books, and I usually pay $2-$3 per book. I typically only use hardcover books because they stack better and will stand up easier. When I look for books to decorate with I am looking to see what color the hard cloth is underneath the book jacket. I always remove the book jacket anyway because they usually have pictures and large lettering. While I am picking out books at thrift stores, I will pull back the book jacket to see what color the book is. Some colors are easier to find than others, with white being really hard to find so I will always grab all the white ones I can find! For my shelves I wanted to use a rainbow of colors grouping them in different shades. I ended up with blues, greens, reds, yellows, a few neutral colors. 

 

After a few shopping trips (or seven), I finally had enough books and decor and of course a few JaxnBlvd signs to fill up the shelves. I really enjoy this part of the process and love playing around with the different pieces. I have a pretty Eclectic style so mixing colors, patterns, and textures makes my heart happy. I also have a thing for globes, I really love globes but my husband thinks we have more than enough!

One of my favorite parts of the build was adding in the three sconce lights. I found the lights on Amazon and had an Electrician come out and install them. He was in and out in less than an hour and it's so great to have the extra lighting in this roo

From start to finish this was a little more than a quick weekend project, but all in all it was not a super hard one, just a little more time consuming because there were quite a few steps. Now onto the next project!

  • I fell into a scam, a friend told me I could double my bitcoin so I invested 5 BTC with the hope of getting back 10 BTC. I was excited about the potential gains and trusted this friend’s recommendation without much hesitation. Little did I know, this would turn into one of the most distressing experiences of my life. The scammers were extremely convincing, presenting themselves as legitimate brokers and offering high returns on investments. They used sophisticated techniques to gain my trust, including fake testimonials, official-looking websites, and seemingly authentic communication channels. It all seemed too good to be true, and unfortunately, it was. After I transferred the 5 BTC, the scammers continued to engage with me, providing updates and maintaining a façade of professionalism. They assured me that my investment was growing and that the promised returns would soon be in my account. I was thrilled at the prospect of doubling my investment and eagerly awaited the confirmation that my funds were growing. However, the joy was short-lived.One day, without any prior warning or explanation, I found myself locked out of my account. I tried to log in multiple times, but each attempt was met with an error message. Panic set in as I realized something was terribly wrong. I immediately tried reaching out to the scammers, but my messages went unanswered. It soon became clear that my 5 BTC had been diverted, and I had no way to access my account. The weight of the situation hit me hard, and I felt a deep sense of betrayal and helplessness. In my desperation, I began searching for solutions and ways to recover my lost funds. The experience was overwhelming and emotionally draining. I felt lost, isolated, and consumed by grief. The thought of my hard-earned bitcoins being stolen and the prospect of never recovering them took a severe toll on my mental health. I was on the brink of despair, and my thoughts veered towards self-harm as a way to escape the unbearable situation. Amidst this turmoil, I came across a post online about Mayermusk Recovery Company, a service that specializes in recovering lost or stolen funds. Skeptical but hopeful, I decided to reach out to them. I was desperate for any chance to recover what I had lost, even if it meant recovering only a portion of my funds. The team at Mayermusk Recovery Company responded quickly and took me through their process, which included providing details about the scam and my lost bitcoins. Mayermusk Recovery Company worked diligently on my case. Their team was professional, understanding, and communicative throughout the process. They employed various recovery techniques and leveraged their expertise to trace and recover my stolen funds. The recovery process was complex and required patience, but the team kept me informed at each step, which was reassuring. Although I could not recover the entire amount of my stolen bitcoins, Mayermusk Recovery Company managed to retrieve more than 80% of what I had lost. This was a significant relief and a testament to their skills and dedication. The recovery of these funds brought me immense comfort and alleviated a portion of the financial strain caused by the scam. I am profoundly grateful to Mayermusk Recovery Company for their intervention and support during this challenging time. Their efforts not only helped me recover a substantial portion of my funds but also provided me with a sense of hope and justice. Without their assistance, I might have remained in despair and possibly faced further emotional and financial consequences. In sharing my experience, I hope to raise awareness about the prevalence of scams and the importance of verifying investment opportunities. Scammers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and it’s crucial to exercise caution and conduct thorough research before making any financial decisions. Moreover, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to Mayermusk Recovery Company for their invaluable help. Their expertise and dedication made a significant difference in my recovery journey, and I will forever be grateful for their support during one of the darkest periods of my life.
