I got these cube shelves at Michaels and they were just wood so I painted them white. I had seen these online and thought they were cute. I found a white set at Target for $19.99, but at Michaels they were only $5.99 for the set. Woohoo! And the paint was only $.50. So that was the first step.

Baby Room Progress
So today we have been hanging stuff in the baby's room! It is so fun, let me tell you. :) I've been busy shopping around for good deals and painting and crafting cute things for his room. So let me take you through what I did.
I got these cube shelves at Michaels and they were just wood so I painted them white. I had seen these online and thought they were cute. I found a white set at Target for $19.99, but at Michaels they were only $5.99 for the set. Woohoo! And the paint was only $.50. So that was the first step.
Then I got inspired again online by these cute letters. I thought it would be fun to add a little color to the room, so I decided I was perfectly capable of making these myself. I found the letters also at Michaels and then Jeremy got some MDF board from work for the background and I painted the boards and the letters and then glued them together and voila! Here they are. By the way, online they were $16.00 each and about half the size of these, which I made for about $4.00 each. (Paint and paintbrushes included). I'm so proud of my savings, can you tell? Just don't look too closely, because they're far from perfect.
Here's a picture of Jeremy getting ready to help hang them up. He's so sweet and supportive. He drilled holes in them for me and always helps me with my little projects. :)
So here's that little corner of the room. A sweet lady in the ward gave me that teddy bear for the baby. Jeremy's mom gave us the rocking chair and Jeremy's dad made the cradle. Amazing!
Then I decided I wanted a shelf, so I got one at Home Depot, but I wasn't sure if I liked it just sticking out, so we decided to make it into a corner shelf. Using our amazing math skills we drew where to cut it and then Jeremy sawed off the edges to make it a corner shelf! I think it looks very cute. (I still need to put stuff on all these shelves, but I'll get there.)
And then finally (well actually I put these together first, but hung them last) are these great pieces of artwork. :) Jeremy painted these little paintings when he was a kid. There's one for each season and they are labeled as such: spring, summer, fall, winter, and all signed by the artist himself. We were going through old things of Jeremy's over Christmas break and I thought these would be really cute in the baby's room, so I framed them and put them up.

So that's what we've done so far! I still need some things for the shelves and something for the window, but we definitely made a lot of progress. Thanks for looking!
