A Spot for Bedtime Books

At the same garage sale where I snagged the transferware, I also picked up this pink wooden storage bin. It needed a little fix-it {in the form of wood glue} on one corner but I decided to leave the rest as-is. The color goes well in the girls’ room and I can handle a few nicks here and there.

I decided it would be a great bookholder next to Lila’s bed.  She often reads quietly while her roomie, Tate, is drifting off to sleep.

In white vinyl, I added a little Dr. Seuss quote {don’t you just love Dr. Seuss?}.

I love anything that adds some organization to the room.  I’m hoping the books will stop piling on the floor next to Lila’s bed and stay in the box.

    I love the idea. I haven’t started the kids book hanger shelves but am hoping to get to them in two weeks. Books tend to end up all over the floor and I hate it when a book gets damaged.

    This book holder looks great in Lila’s room.

    This is such a good idea. My daughter and I read a book together every night. I really need to make one of these. Thanks for sharing!
