The $69 Dollar Solution

Something had to be done about this disaster that was my daughter's room.
 The little bookcase leftover from her nursery just wasn't cutting it anymore.
 Enter this: (and now that i look at this wall, the pictures and shelf need a little work.  I'll tackle that in about 6 months)
 (Notice that adorable little cup and saucer that was mine when I was a little girl.)
She now has a separate cubby for Barbies, Polly Pockets, disney princesses, doll house people and accessories, and of course, books.
I found the fabric for this room about 5 years ago for $1 a yard.  I spent all of ten dollars on all the fabric. The black and white works well with how her nursery was already painted and will work well when she decides she is too cool for pink.
The little doll crib was my Mom's when she was a girl, the dresser was also my Mom's, and the ballerina cross stitch was once a pillow that my mom made me when I was little.
Okay, that shelf now looks way too high and that picture hanging on the wall is too small.  I'm on it.
It is amazing what $69 dollars can do for a room.  I should have done this five years ago!
