Before and After

When we got our fish tank it came with a nice sturdy table. The only problem was that it reeked of cigarette smoke. There was no way we would get the smell out so we made use of a small sofa table that we had.
It was definitely not sturdy enough to hold 50 gallons of water and a tank, so Josh cut out some boards to help support it... Not to mention I measured wrong so he had to slide cardboard underneath the boards to get the right height.
There are also a TON of wires associated with a fish tank. Who knew??
Well, long story short: it was an UGLY mess! 
You can see half the mess in this picture.
 So, (in all my craftiness) I MADE a dust ruffle... from scratch... with no pattern (and just a little bit of online help)!  I know, I'm surprised how well it turned out too. :)
It's such a small thing, but made such a huge difference in the room.
