We were lucky enough to be gifted a "book" shower by my generous co-workers to help build baby's library. Besides Land of Nod ($$$) does anyone have reccs for where to purchase to bookcase (baby's furniture is dark espresso-like so finding it hard to match online)?

We have three - all are great:
1) the box bookcase from Ikea
2) one that is wood (painted blue) and canvas (red) similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/KidKraft-14221-Sling-Bookshelf-Natural/dp/B0018MCVH4/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1416954393&sr=1-1&keywords=canvas+bookcase. This and a fun chair makes up her reading corner. Best for small-medium size books.
3) one that is fancy like this one, though ours is a different theme, that is next to her bed:

Last I counted DD has ~100 books so these are packed full (well, the Ikea case also holds toys). What is nice is that no matter where we are in the house a book is nearby.
We're doing something like this, but not nearly to this extreme. My dad is building the shelves for us, but I've seen floating bookshelves sold at Target (https://www.target.com/p/threshold-23-picture-ledge-assorted-colors/-/A-15032867#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=wall+shelves).
I also purchased this night stand from Target (https://www.target.com/p/threshold-windham-one-door-accent-cabinet/-/A-14519707#prodSlot=medium_1_1) for additional book/misc. storage.
Hope this helps!

Not so much an issue for the first year or so, but in the long run, you'll want something toddler-friendly.
