aw... boat for nursery! PIP

Nancy_Drew · July 2009

I've been eyeing this shelf for the nursery since we're doing a nautical theme, but YIKES, at PBK it is $299!

Sailboat Shelf

My co-worker's husband (whom I know well, since he was my boss for years and years) is quite the wood worker in his spare time. Amazing the things he makes! SO... I asked if he would be interested in a little bartering! They are big wine drinkers and DH is in the business and has a HUGE cellar. So if he would make us a replica of this boat, we'd trade him for cases of wine. He LOVED the idea!

SO, my co-worker brought it to me yesterday and here it is; (We said DH would paint it.. we also had him make it a bit smaller since the PBK one is lke 3 feet x 4 feet.. way to huge!)

Now I can't wait for DH to finish it up and put it up in the room!

We also have the curtains pictured in the 1st photo and the wall color is identical (minus the waves)
