Our kids playroom has four wonderful window seats. They are each about five feet long and have two drawers under each one. We have long talked about building bookshelves on either side of the window seat. I think that children’s books should face outward so that kids can see the covers and not the spines. I have always been inspired by this photo of Kelly Wearstler’s children’s library.
If you don’t have someone to build the bookshelves, or do not want to spend that much money, but still get the look, rain gutters work just as well.
love the first photo. Such a cute way to style a play room and of course make the little ones excited about reading.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea - great for us Californians who don't have as much space. We were looking for bookshelves and I was just about to order one, but this makes so much more sense for us in terms of space... I also agree that I prefer the front of the book facing the out than the spine!
ReplyDeletethe gutters are such a neat idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!! Love Kelly's library. Of course it looks amazing she always has such good ideas!
ReplyDeleteMy husband installs gutters and they always have scraps lying around. Such a great idea to recycle the scrap material.
ReplyDeleteI am the one whose husband does the gutters. Sorry about that. We are going to try these in my daughters room first sincw she has so mich wall space and is less organized than my son. Ill post a pic when they are done.
