Blogless But Creative Friends #5: Rain Gutter Book Shelves {Val's Nursery}

Did you graduate from Dike New Hartford High School?!  No?  Well Val did, and so did I.  And we have something else in common: DIY and "upcyling"!!  Today I stole pictures from her personal Facebook page and uploaded them to my blog cuz I just knew you'd all want to see this SUPER cute nursery!  

Now I know your eye goes directly to that gorgeous blue and orange.  So once you get a load of that ththen take notice of what is the right. The bookshelves on the outside wall of this charming little baby room are made using RAIN GUTTERS!  (Such a great idea, whoever first thought of that.  If you know, please let me know so I can congratulate their ingeniousness.)

 Let's have a peek at how the dresser looked when she bought it off of a for sale group for $50.  
Very nice!  But just not what she had in mind for little Logan (color-wise at least).

Just adore these colors!  Is anyone else wanting to have another baby now?  The needle on a string trick says there's a girl in me yet... too bad that ain't happenin'!
Another shot of the rain gutter book shelves:

And last but not least: this bright and cheerful end table with the one pig every child needs. :)

  1. I quite literally posted on my facebook wall tonight asking for suggestions for a jewelry box I am going to make over asking for paint ideas to coordinate with the orange fabric I want to use to reline the drawers. This blue is perfect!

  4. What an adorable nursery! The gutters work perfectly for shelves. Well done. However, I am concerned that there are blinds in the room. Cords hazard?
