I have been thinking about the best way to kit out Huddy's Play Room. I like the idea of all his toys (well most of them) living in a Play Room that way when we put him to bed in his bedroom he will have less things to hop out of bed and play with. I love the simplicity of this room and am obsessed with the wall unit but am unsure if I can convince J to built me something similar...
here's a similar built in book shelf:
I love how all the beautiful front cover book art is on display - to me it makes the books look far more enticing rather than just having them staked up spines out!
I have seen some people use Ikea Spice Racks to create something similar and we did this in our last house so I guess we could probably just do this again...
Either way I definitely want to have something along these lines in Huddy's Play Room.
In other news... whilst running my morning errands consisting of kindy drop off, bunnings, woolies etc etc I found an amazing old chair on the side of the road similar to this but in far less glamorous material... Anyone know any cheap chair re-upholsterers???
I do agree about the books - I love to see the covers too. Our library shelving includes an inclined display shelf for that very reason. Looks like we've both scored well on the kerbside. xx
ReplyDeleteI just reupholstered an armchair I found on the nature strip a few houses down :) first time I'd tried something on that scale and yet it worked out beautifully. Have a go, I'm sure you'll be able to do it.
