Books Books Everywhere! A Reading Nook~

In my last post, I showed you how I hung an old school map up in the baby’s room (yes, he is four, yes I call him the baby). You can check that out here if you missed it!
The other little spruce up I did in his room was to add a little reading nook. He loves books and I love that he does… but peeps… the books are out of control! I am trying to pare down. But he honestly does just sit and read.
He already has a big book box under his bed but I wanted to keep his favorites that he ends up searching for around the house in a better place. Enter Ikea. They have the nicest pictures ledges for $10! Such a steal compared to other places and they are fairly deep so you can get a few books on them. I did figure out pretty quick though that I would need heavier duty dry wall anchors and screws than what came with them. If you forgot… my walls are made of cottage cheese!!
I’ve said it before and I will say it again- don’t be afraid to hang things on your walls- holes can be patched so easily… brainstorm… maybe I should do a post on patching walls… anyone interested? Bueller?
Anyhoo… hung those puppies up and then some larger shelves up top for some pics and treasures he finds:)
Can I just tell you that I love sitting in the chair with him?! And I love it also because I bought it from a good friend, so it makes me think of her:)
Enough babble- here are the goods! Look and be amazed…. or at least somewhat interested… help a girl out, it’s been a long week!;)
