How do you store your LO's books? Photos will be great of you have them. I need a book case for LO but her room is small so i want something that is space efficient
-
Bump!
-
How do you want to store them, spine out or cover out?
My system is totally inefficeint, they're all tossed in a basket at the moment. I am thinking of getting something from One Step Ahead, but I can't find it now, GRRRRR. It was a rotating bookshelf that could also function as an end table.
-
@looch: I'm not really sure... she doesnt have many books now so many cover out for now?
-
@looch: Mine aren't stored well either. They're in a plastic bin. When we work on our nursery, I expect to have my FIL and dad build bookshelves that attach to the walls. Not permanent but sturdy. Little man is a climber.

I currently use an ikea cube shelf, but I wish I had something like this:
-
I found it at: http://www.woodentoddlertoys.com/newwapolibyw.html. At $539, it's pretty expensive!!!
-
We use picture ledges that we made....like this:
They used to be in her room when we lived in our small apartment but now they are in the playroom since we have more space in our house, but still a good space saver!
ETA: sorry the quality of that pic is horrible

@BunnyDragon: Oh, I love that! Where is that from?
-
We have picture ledges from Ikea. They look like @Bao: 's, but white.
-
I have the PBK Madison tall book rack in white. You do have to put it together yourself, but it's very solid. It doesn't hold a ton of books, but I love that they're easy to see and it doesn't take up much room. It's not too pricey - $150 regularly. I got mine when it was 20% off.
-
@Bao: that's so organized and pretty! I'd love to do that but I don't think I could maintain it.
-
I think the ikea spice racks look super cute, they're also definitely a shallow profile and inexpensive.

@BunnyDragon: wow that is expensive, I think if I look on amazon I will find something similar for less
-
@Bao: oh thanks for sharing!! They are very organized. do the books ever fall off?
-
@78h2o: Thanks I really like the dark wood version.. I will look for a similar cheaper version! I want to spend less than $100
@lilyofthewest: That is such an awesome idea,,, I think I saw this on the blog before thanks for reminding me
-
@Mrsbells: Nope! the shelves are a few inches thick and the books lean towards the wall.
-
@Bao: oh ok I see.. that is awesome
-
We have three IKEA picture ledges on the wall for his hardback/"pretty" books and then the rest of his books are stored in the Expedit (4x2 on its side so it's 4 across and 2 down).

@ladyfingers: Thanks that looks really great! Now I have tons of inspiration
-
I plan on doing a book wall as well...space saver and doubles as pretty artwork !
-
We have rain gutter bookshelves. They've been working really well for us!

@ladyfingers: We went to ikea this week and I got those picture ledges! I wanted to get the spice racks because they were cheaper but they were out of stock
@Running Elley: Thanks for the photo! That looks great
