Nursery Wall Before & After And A Unique Storage Solution

A few weeks ago, I blogged about my youngest son’s nursery and showed you this picture….

Needless to say….

 the wall above the changing table definitely needed some help!

Just a little bare don’t ya think?

Well…after a few successful trips to Hobby Lobby….

 I am proud to say that this is what that wall looks like now!

First of all…I am loving this Route 66 picture my mom found for me!

Love the old license plates in the background!

 And because all Wall Decor was 50%….it only cost $15.00!!!

Can I get a Woot Woot?!?

Love the distressing to the numbers too!

The metal signs on this side were all 50% off too…I got them for about $5 a piece.

Also got the shelf in the unfinished wood section of the store 50% off as well and painted it. The truck, gas pump and little sign all again fabulous finds at Hobby Lobby…all half off! Pretty much everything at Hobby Lobby goes half off at some point…so if you find something you like & its not on sale…

wait a week and chances are it will be!

The next issue I wanted to address was all of Griffin’s toys…

He doesn’t have a toy box in his room to store everything in, so I was in the market for a storage basket/bin of some sort…again, I went to Hobby Lobby!

 They had tons of storage baskets & while I couldn’t find anything that I really liked (in my price range),

my mom had an idea to make my own…

So she found this wooden storage bin…

 And this Route 66 license plate….

 I hot glued the license plate to the storage bin…

 And now it looks like this….

 And here it sits in his room, housing all of his toys!

 Love it!!

The bin was $9.00 (half off) and the license plate was $5.00 (half off)…

So I now have a custom & unique storage solution for only $14.00!

Hope you are all having a wonderful Friday!!!
