Gutter Bookshelves!

My Mother's Day present this year was H making me gutter bookcase shelves for N's room. While he complained about doing it for approximately 15 annoying minutes he finally agreed and headed off to get the supplies at Lowes.  I had found the idea off of Pinterest and while we were a little skeptical about using vinyl gutters it turned out great!

Our main obstacle while building the bookshelves was trying to keep this little boy out of trouble while we worked.

Prepping the corner for construction.  Before the corner housed Nolan's changing table/dresser.

I know nothing about the logistics of building things but I know our only materials bought were the gutters (cut in half by Hans), end caps, corner pieces, and screws.

 

N gave his dad  LOTS of hugs for encouragement.

While it's nice getting hugs we decided to let him  play in his crib until we finished.

While the picture on Pinterest showed 4 shelves.. by the time we got our 3rd shelf done we were HUNGRY so we mutually decided that three shelves was perfect.

We moved Nolan's changing table/dresser in his closet area.

Thank you my wonderful husband!
