I’ve so enjoyed setting up spaces for Miss Leyba and all her stuff (i.e. books, wooden toys, art supplies, stuffed animals, and dress-up outfits!).
Here is one such area.
David built these shelves for Miss Leyba and then painted them with a non-toxic, no VOC milk paint in this playful turquoise (I LOVE it!).
The shelves are also super deep (and very heavy), so you can access items from both sides and we don’t need to worry about the shelves toppling.
(Believe it or not, we now have even more books crammed in there as I’ve recently discovered our thrift store sells 25ยข board books. I now stop by several times a week to pick up books. Yes, it’s become an addiction).
I had such fun arranging her things here… and now face the daily challenge of getting everything put away in its place. Luckily for me, Miss Leyba loves Helping Mama, so lately she’s been very amenable to clean up time.
Not that you can tell right now, of course. Our living room looks like a tornado flew through it.
Since I want to maintain my image as a domestic goddess (*cough*), I won’t bother to post pictures.
I’m sure you understand.
Most appealing! shelves AND board books!
The shelves look so great — and no pointy edges I see! All I can say is lucky, lucky girl to have such wonderful parents!!
