Martha Stewart I am not...not even close

When re-doing Gracie's playroom, we had to pool our resources together and get some free stuff in order to put the room together.  We got this great bookshelf that was in perfect condition, but it was black and boring and not really what I'd consider "playroom friendly". 

So in my head I thought, I so got this...I am a Pinterest Queen. Well, I started painting and what we wound up with is colorful, but not necessarily my best work.  My fun polka dots turned into crazy looking flowers when I thought I could "spice" it up even more. 

Luckily Gracie likes it, but oye not at all what I had imagined in my head! What I did was paint everything white first, and then went back over it with color so it would really "pop".  Yeah, it pops alright.
