Weekend Update 2

We didn't get much done this weekend in the baby's room. I went to bed early on Friday night (really early, it might not have been dark yet) and felt pretty tired all day Saturday. We did manage to rake up some leaves and listen to the Duck game online. Adam went grocery shopping and I spent a lot of time resting.

Sunday was more productive. We got up early, took Mick for a walk, cleaned the house, saw a movie, did a bunch of laundry and made our famous pizza for dinner.

We really don't have much left to do in the baby's room. Here's our list...
  1. put up curtains (we can't find the hardware right now)
  2. order and assemble the crib
  3. consolidate or move our computer stuff so that we have a little more room for baby stuff
  4. have new doors installed
  5. install shelving for books
We need some help with the book shelving. I would like to copy this idea I saw in Pottery Barn Kids but I don't want to pay $95 for each unit! It seems like it wouldn't be too hard to find or make something similar.

Does anyone have an idea of how we could duplicate this? We would be okay with something of different dimensions, we just like the idea of books being displayed and so readily available.

A teacher once hung white plastic rain gutters on her wall to display books. If you put decopage (sp?) or stickers on them, or painted them, they could look pretty cute, and you could put 3 or 4 "shelves" on a wall.
