I built a bookshelf!

 Lately I've been working REALLY hard on organizing our bonus room. Only problem is that we have a LOT of toys and they are EVERYWHERE. I decided I want bookshelves to hold them, but I didn't want to pay much for them. I've always wanted to try building furniture but never dared. I made sure to find good plans online that were simple to follow for my first project. And guess what, I built not one, but TWO bookshelves ALL BY MYSELF! I'm so proud of myself! It's ok to be proud of yourself, right? By the way, the good folks at Home Depot cut all of the wood for me. How awesome is that? I had all the measurements I needed planned out and they cut it all up for me! All I had to do is glue, screw the wood together, putty up the holes and paint!

Here's one of them, almost done. The second bookshelf turned out better than the first, amazing what a little practice can do..

Here's one of the bookshelves, all ready to be painted!! I already have the toy bins labeled and ready to put in. I didn't have time to paint them today, bc I've been working, but it will happen soon! I can't wait to see how it looks all done! Oh and the best part of all, they cost me $44. FOR BOTH. These babies are long too! Super excited! What do you think???

 PS, these were my inspiration. IF you don't feel like building your own, you can buy them from Pottery Barn Kids for $199 a piece. ;)
