IKEA Spice Racks turned Bookshelves

I know we've been seeing this idea floating around all over Pinterest and other blogs.  I first saw it on Daily Garnish's blog.  I thought it was such a super cute idea.  I didn't really want to put it on a dresser or the changing table so I decided on hanging them from the wall.  There is a small strip of wall next to the closet that would work perfectly!

We bought the spice racks at IKEA for $3.99 each.

Then I primed them, let it dry, and spray painted them a gloss white.  I did 2 coats because I figure kids are rough on things and I rather do it now than later!

From here I told Hubs where I wanted them hung and he went to town with the rest. 

Here's what they look like now. 

Sorry for the grainy iPod picture.  I'll take a better one for the entire room reveal.
