Spray Paint & updated class pics

My mom began spray painting my huge bookshelf.  Originally it was "circus" red, blue and cream colored stripes.  It was hideous!  Normally, I tried to hide it in a corner.  Last year my sister covered it with brown butcher paper and we wrapped "vines" (a.k.a. twisted green butcher paper) around it and hot glued flowers on it.  Not this year!  This year, I decided to paint the ugly things in my classroom;)  This is my mom's final product!  It took WAY, WAY more spray paint than I anticipated, but I think I'll really enjoy looking at it this year.

I'm not finished putting my supplies away, but for the work week, it looks fairly organized!
