My Bookcase & a Winner!

For a while I couldn't do anything with my bookcase. The twins were just too much of a risk of messing the whole thing up so it just sat and looked ugly and boring.  It looked exactly like what it was called "Book case". 

I couldn't put anything on the bottom two shelves because, again, the twins would take it, break it, ruin it.

 

I found myself at Target just throwing sale items into my cart (with my 3 kids in tow... of course!).  I saw orange and green, cute fruit things, a candle, flowers, and those really nifty hourglasses that should always belong on a bookcase or in a library!

After about 20 minutes of playing with it I had everything just where I wanted it, and I looked at it and SMILED!!! Finally it was pretty, fun, colorful, and ME!

This flower bundle (that reminds me of a wedding) was marked down to $3!!!

 ok, so I even took pictures of my daughter with it..... got to get good use out of it :)

I love the HUGE pear and the hourglass.  My bookcase is basically in the kitchen/dining area, so I wanted to add some kitcheny stuff plus more "bookcase" items.  It really ties it all in nicely.

Now... for my before and afters :)

BEFORE

After :) So much better

And the WINNER to the giveaway is........ (after having my twin boys draw out of a bowl)...

Yayy!!! Giveaways! I have been waiting to get some kitchen tools, and would love any of the Rachel Ray's items. I used one at my parents house and it was sturdy, easy to maneuver and it look gorgeous while I was cooking Taco Soup!! YUM!!

Congrats!!!!
