The Shelves - Finished!

I finished the second coat of white on the shelves yesterday morning and sponged on the purple last night before I went to bed.  Early early this morning, the boy child helped apply the yellow to the front.  

 

Todd helped me move the shelves out of the garage and upstairs.  We moved the bottom section into place and left the top section out in the hall.  Henry had to supervise.

 

Then Todd took the kids to a Bounce House to burn off some energy before taking them out for pizza.  I spent close to four hours getting Owen's shelves set up, bolted to the wall, arranged and then cleaning/organizing both his room and Chloe's.  Both rooms look so much better and I feel like I accomplished soooooo much between Friday and today!  

Owen was thrilled with how the shelves turned out once he came home :)

Grandma Suzanney painted those O-W-E-N letters and gave them as a Christmas present to the boy.  I finally got them hung up today.  That is my old roll top desk and Grandma Suzanney also made the quilt hanging behind it for Owen.  I just love it.  It makes me smile every time I walk into his room.

I built those shelves to the right of the desk when we lived in our last house.  They held all of my craft supplies and fabrics, but I think they work better now in Owen's room.  I had to cut off a couple inches on the top so they would fit in his room.  What I'm loving the most right now is that I can see the carpet at the base of those shelves!
