Our $2.50 Creation

This is our latest addition to the nursery, and I must say we are QUITE proud! Jo Marie picked up this quilt rack at a garage sale for $1.00 and then found some scrap wood at the hardware store on clearance for $1.50. I used the wood to turn the quilt rack into a functional book shelf for Max's wall. As for the books we put on the shelf, Jo has a rule of not spending more than 50 cents on Dr. Seuss books and 25 cents on all of the rest (although she did fork out a whole $1.00 for the Giant Book of Mathematics!). So, books included, the shelf set us back a whopping $5.75. Cute little Raggedy Andy was mine when I was little. We love it! The rocking chair that Jo's mom gave us will sit in front of the shelf. It's all coming together!
