The middle piece is supposed to be vertical, but we just flipped it on it's side. Still trying to decide if we want to add little feet onto the whole thing or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-books-how-do-you-store-them#post-2041480 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 23:34:32 +0000 youboots 2041480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just took a photo today after I got it organized. </p> [attach=5281/15/nitjfg.600x477.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-books-how-do-you-store-them#post-2041476 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 23:30:07 +0000 Blueberry 2041476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: what system is that?

It's not that tidy but they're easily accessible and it's safer than storing wine there! </p> [attach=1664/15/nitgid.450x600.image.jpg] [attach=1664/15/nitgie.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-books-how-do-you-store-them#post-2041401 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 22:27:37 +0000 jetsa 2041401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 2 shelves like charm54, our coffee table bottom and a basket in his room :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-books-how-do-you-store-them#post-2041172 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 18:53:34 +0000 Charm54 2041172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: it makes a great focal point looking down the hallway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-books-how-do-you-store-them#post-2041162 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 18:44:36 +0000 Torchwood 2041162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: Our nursery will have that same random bit of wall as you walk in, I think we need to do that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-books-how-do-you-store-them#post-2041118 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 17:54:18 +0000 Charm54 2041118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: it is super easy to get the books I and off! The bottom three rows are sometimes pretty disheveled because dd takes them on and off but they are easy to rearrange. I think the book wall is one of the reasons she loves books so much !</p> <p>@MUI831: yes the Ribba is the exact same! I had ours made from this DIY plan<br /> <a href="http://ana-white.com/2010/10/plans/ten-dollar-ledges" rel="nofollow">http://ana-white.com/2010/10/plans/ten-dollar-ledges</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-books-how-do-you-store-them#post-2040864 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 15:23:02 +0000 mrskc 2040864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In DS's room we have them on ikea Ribba ledges and a bookshelf that my DH built. I like the ledges to display his favorite books. Then we use this cube thing in the living room. And I have basket in my daughters room with some books as well. I like having them throughout the house. </p> [attach=684/15/niswme.600x450.image.jpg] [attach=684/15/niswmg.600x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-books-how-do-you-store-them#post-2040855 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 15:16:24 +0000 ValentineMommy 2040855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: love that!!</p> <p>We just got a system from Ikea this weekend.

I think it's the IKEA ribba picture ledges? I'm not happy with how DH hung them up in regards to spacing. I wish they were closer together. But otherwise like them. I don't know what we'll do for DS2. He doesn't have the wall space in his room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-books-how-do-you-store-them#post-2040534 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 13:01:04 +0000 lamariniere 2040534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours are just on the second to bottom shelf of our family bookshelf that way the LOs can reach them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-books-how-do-you-store-them#post-2040419 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 12:08:47 +0000 swurlygurl 2040419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: I love that! Does it stay fairly organized, and is it easy to get books down/put them away? It definitely looks like it's easy enough! I wish I had that much wall space in L's room to do that... Maybe just a couple rows would work too... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-books-how-do-you-store-them#post-2038074 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 17:10:05 +0000 Charm54 2038074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a book wall...

They are just displaying books for the most part but more often than not, she empties them so they're just shelves on the wall. I look forward to the day when she uses them as bookshelves again. :) </p> <p>We also use one of the cubes you can get at Target/Michaels/etc.</p> <p>[attach=251/15/ning99.600x337.1380545_10151891417105780_34529905_n.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=251/15/ningc6.600x556.2015-01-23_16-42-32.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-books-how-do-you-store-them#post-2038037 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 16:37:02 +0000 swurlygurl 2038037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you store/organize your LO's books? (I always love pics ;) ) Do you like your system?</p> <p>Right now we have L's books on a shelf under a dresser in her room. It works well to store them, but it is not useful for her to get them out and put them back. They fall out the back/off the sides, and there isn't a ton of space between the shelf and the dresser, so it's difficult for her to put them away without getting frustrated.</p> <p>I like the idea of those spice racks turned book storage, but wonder how functional they are, or if they're just for looks? </p> [attach=3446/15/ning1q.313x600.Untitled.jpg]
