Nate is so handy. He can basically build anything. I am positive that he could build an entire house all by himself. Maybe someday we will do that…. probably not…. but maybe.
In the mean time we enjoy fixing up our house. In Rogers we basically re-did the whole thing, as much as we could afford. Now, since moving and buying a newer house, we only have to change the things we want to. We still have a few projects lined up (gutters, pergola, outside paint…) but since it has been so hot outside we have focused our attention on the nursery.
First project for the nursery: Shelves!
We started out with cheap $20 shelves from target.
Next, we added some trim pieces around each side.
Then we caulked all the nail holes, did a little sanding, and painted everything.
After adding a little bead board to the back, instead of the cheap cardboard, they look pretty snazzy!
They look great and I am excited to cover them with cute decorations for our baby girl!
To upgrade some shelves of your own, here are the supplies we used for each set of shelves:
- 1 cheap laminate 5 shelving unit
- 10 – 1” x 2” x 8’ pint boards
- 1 – 12’ base molding (3 1/4 x 1/2)
- 1 sheet of bead board
- Nails
- Wood glue
- Spackle
- Sand paper
- Primer/Paint
