Custom Shelving for only 35!!

This weekend we "finished" our new shelving unit! We decided to go with a custom mixed light minty blue. I really enjoyed seeing the poll and reading all of your comments. It helped me sort out the pros and cons of each color and what would work best in the space! Coral was also popular, but since it is tall and in the middle of the room, I wanted something that would blend in a little more. But maybe coral for the round table that will go next to it...

Its a little unsteady and leans a little so we still need to add supports on the bottom to make it more secure (dont worry we cleared everything off for now, to let the paint cure and to not put any more weight on it till we add the supports :).

Ill give a full tutorial a little later this week once we finish the supports, but for now, enjoy a few pictures!




We wanted something that you could see straight through to make it feel a little lighter. Annabelle in her favorite sleeping spot (as usual :)



We left most of our books on the east coast before we moved to CA, so we dont have too many here. Mostly baskets and boxes to hold office supplies and other miscellaneous things that need a home. So that there wont be too much color to compete with the color already in the room ...  


and my favorite part!? It only cost about $35 for all of the wood! We were able to save by cutting down large sheets of MDF from Habitat Restore. All of the shelves only cost $7!! 

Ill be back soon with details on how we made it!

This weekend we started working on a new project, if youre following on instagram or facebook you may have seen a little preview.   


Through facebook and instagram about 23 said A and 78 said B. I really dont think that we couldve went wrong, they are both great! I was leaning towards B, the vote said B, and B it is actually easier ... so B it is! Stay tuned to see what we are making! Sorry to tease ... I want to get a little further before we fill you in!
