So, in Boston, we made due with the closet shelf as a bookshelf, knowing that Paddy would need more space for books once we moved on. I have Craiglook set up with a search for bookcases/bookshelves, but I haven't seen any I am crazy about, so I have started thinking about alternatives...
The only requirement I can think of is that I will need to have some space for books that are not age appropriate yet so that he doesn't destroy all of them already...whether that be a higher shelf, the top of a dresser, etc.
I thought that I could remove a couple of the metal bins from the Brimfield cart in order to store books. Or maybe I should even remove all the bins on the lower shelf since we are a little worried about Paddy pulling those all the way out and hurting himself!
Or, today, I saw the book slings that two of my fabulous blogging friends, Vanessa and Michelle, have made...very cool, and I think this is even within my limited sewing capability!
Or, maybe I just need some cool bookends. Again, I liked this idea that Vanessa blogged about because I feel like it is always so hard to find bookends that are heavy enough! However, Hallie, Brandy and I have tried to work with concrete before and we weren't very successful, were we ladies?
Does anyone have any other ideas? I am all ears...
