Since we’re living in my brother’s house right now I’m trying to be as organized as possible in the limited space we have. Ellie’s bedroom definitely comes to mind. So last week I found this little magazine rack for $5 and thought it would be fun to upcycle as a place to hold her books.

Afterwards I took the book rack back inside and added some details, a little crystal trim that I purchased from Michael’s and then hot glued some blue flowers onto the sides.

And you can see little hints of Ellie’s temporary bedroom in the photo below. I’m getting close to unveiling this one too. Next week I’ll share her IKEA dresser hack!

    how is the clean up on this paint?

      Cleans up easily like latex. With the different spray nozzles too, it’s easy to concentrate the paint and not get half of the can all over your fingers 😉

    The caps are an awesome idea! That is great that she has her own temporary room!
