Got a chance to do some more work in the lounge finally.
Started by centering the support brackets on the shelf, they were driving me crazy by off centered:
Then I started staining the shelf. I took the idiotic way for a while, trying to tape off the shelf and carefully stain. This was exceptionally time consuming and stupid of me.
Got frustrated with that and just removed the second half of the shelf and stained it outside....took about 5 min, whereas the first half took me over an hour.
Finished staining
Then I had to decorate a bit! Put up all the custom labels I've made so far up.
