H’s Bedroom Reading Nook

One of my latest tasks has been converting H’s room from what was a former office into an age-appropriate bedroom. Limited power outlets, a poorly implemented set of hanging closet drawers, and a floor air vent have all proven challenges to the design stage of H’s room. Recently, we took out a tall bookshelf, and replaced it with a white Kallax. The Kallax is a much safer choice, and makes the room feel much more pulled together. H’s fuzzy chair gives her a cozy place to sit and look at books, and her Flisat book rack holds all of her favorite bedtime storybooks. H is still learning her limitations when leaving chairs, so padded corners are needed for the Kallax.

It was extremely important for me to have a plant in H’s room, so she has a ponytail palm on the shelf. I’m excited for it to grow with her, and for her to learn plant care.

Only the very best books get a spot in the book rack
As H gets more belongings, we’ll use the Kallax shelves as storage. But in the meantime, they make nice blanket storage.

November Shelfie

I’ve been working on my shelf rotating skills lately, but it’s difficult when nothing in your house is organized. H’s room is a disaster since we never properly arranged it after changing it from a former office into a baby’s room. Her room gets cleaned next, but in the meantime, here are the toys we keep out frequently!

Top row: soft building blocks, lamp, stacking rings and mushie stacking cups, Infantino textured balls
Bottom row: 8 inch floor drum, Melissa & Doug wooden blocks, mystery basket with various small toys, Green Toys car carrier and ferry
