    DS's bookshelf is full.  They get so many keepsakes that you want out of their reach.  I think it is a necessity.

    I have one listed on my reg thats like a magazine rack type thing, and was looking at a normal one to add.. I want the baby to have a lot of books to grow up with so as soon as I choose one he'll be getting it. :)

    Yes!  My Papa Terry made it for my cousin when she was little and my mom has it now.  Since my Papa Terry's gone, I want to use it.

    I'm having DH build one for the family room downstairs.  We have an area that we are going to dedicate as the "play room".

    We are going to get a small one to put in the nursery.  Probably something from IKEA.  I'm a huge reader and want to fill a bookcase with books for my LO.
  • Options
    We don't have room for one and I'm kind of freaking out. I think books are vital, so if you have them somewhere else in the house for your reading time then great, if not it is definitely necessary...well, easy access storage is. I just read about putting them in bins/baskets on the floor. That could be an option for a smaller nursery as well.

    I had a bookshelf in my room growing up but we have a loft and I want to put a big bookshelf in the loft and have fantasies of having story time there.  If there isn't room you could get a dresser that has a top that is a bookshelf.

    Just got one today, it's put together and looks great!!!

    I deleted the one I posted, because it apparently linked to someone's registry.

    Sorry.

    We don't have room in the room to have one on the floor, so we have hung some shelves on the wall.  We will also have shelves in the closet for book and toys. 

    As a 2nd grade teacher, I think books are a must in a child's room.

    Likely we'll put a three or four shelf one in there, yes.

    DH is building one in the nursery but like PPs I am a HUGE reader and teach first grade so this was a must.

    Absolutely.  Books are one of the most important things for a child to have, IMO.  I can't wait to read to LO!!

    It would probably be useful for storing lots of things besides books... We just got the metal cubes to connect together and put baskets inside.

    We filled DS bookshelf and he has an additional one in the playroom. DS#2 will have one in his nursery as well. I could not imagine not having one, each night DS picks his goodnight books out he wants us to read.

    DH built one and it is completely full of books and it is DD's fav part of the room. We read every night before bed.
  • Options
    We already have a bookshelf in LO's room and it's so much fun filling it up! DH and I went to half price books and picked out a lot of books that were our favorites when we were kids. We now have so much making trips to books stores and checking out the kids books :)

    i don't have space to fit a full book shelf so i plan on hanging 3 of these on the wall:

    We got the ikea expedit bookshelf, but layed it on it's side and since it's a cubed shelf we are using storage cubes in some of the cubes and then leaving the other cubes open.

    Yes, I am a teacher and have tons of children's book and that would be a nice place to put all of them.

    DH just built our today! I love it, its a bit large - but I know it will get filled with books and pictures.  BRU has some really adorable ones which I loved - but it was too tall (we needed long, not tall) But they had ones I loved! Good luck.
