Nursery Progress & Book Ledges

The boys room has gotten some attention recently, which has been a lot of fun. I am happy that they ended up being the same gender. I was really nervous about planning a room around two genders for a little while there. 

I had seen a lot of inspiration on Pinterest for book ledges for the room. I decided this would be the best route to take in terms of cost and space. I did not want to have to find a bookcase that matched the style I would be looking for either.  I shared with Rob a project I saw on Ana White's Blog where readers share their projects. He simply used some leftover wood from our ongoing kitchen project to create these 36" long ledges. 

Wynn has already been "checking books out of the library" as she says, and I think they will work great with the rest of the space.


I purchased these adorable prints from Slightly Sprighty on Etsy and framed them in my Home Goods finds.
I also ordered this print from Dalloway Place on Etsy in a navy blue background, and I will group the three prints together on a wall sometime soon.

I picked up this cute basket from Home Goods for toys and extra books for only $15. I thought it would fit in with the color scheme pretty well.
 
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a great one!

  2. I bet you just love saying "the boys"! ... The book ledges look great! Book covers are so cute and colorful, so it's really fun to use them as a decorating element. And having the books on display will definitely encourage reading. The basket is perfect and you found some really cute prints. This is going to be a darling room!

  22. I love the shelves Megan! I definitely want to do something like that in the girls' room. I just love children books and my girls are beginning to love them too. I've seen people use shelves similar to this from Ikea. I wonder how the price would compare. Anyway, love! I'm featuring this tonight at my link party and pinning!
