Books!!

We've had an Ikea Expedit bookcase in the playroom for a while, but it never looked very appealing because the books were always disheveled and you couldn't see all your options. We came up with this brilliant idea so the books would be facing out and look more inviting! :)

We just used some picture ledges from Ikea and Todd had the last minute idea to stagger them on the wall. I LOVE it! We have some really cool books to show off thanks to lots of generous grandparents, aunts, uncles...that sort of thing, but the majority of the collection comes courtesy of Todd's auntie Beth! Over the years she gave Todd more cool books than I can count, which of course got passed on to the kids.

Here's to hoping the playroom book wall stays like this! ;)
