Smart Book Storage-Wall Mounted Bookshelves

I've been looking for a creative, space saving and affordable way to store my kids' books for awhile now.  I finally came across a solution to my storage issue on one of my favorite blogs Living with Punks by Susan-----Wall Mounted Bookshelves.

                                                                                                                                                     Smart book storage!

 

Although Susan was bold enough to make her own bookshelves, I opted to buy mine at one of my fav stores, Ikea for only $14.99 each!

Here's the big reveal....

(Please try to overlook the overdue paint job, which is on my To Do List.  I'm thinking about mixing a bunch of left over paint that I have at home to come up with a cute wall paint color for the boys' room).

I do plan on adding another two shelves to really take advantage of the wall space since I have more books to store.  I really need to stop purchasing so many books from Scholastic Inc's book fairs! :-)

Since Oct is soon approaching, I've started to plan some sewing projects for my baby girl.  On that To Do List is a boppy pillow, stroller foot muff and blanket.  I've already purchased my fabric for only $3 a yard at Walmart!

On another note, I put in my 2 weeks notice at work and though I feel a bit nervous, I am relieved and extremely excited because  I know that everything will be just fine!    I am so looking forward to what is to come especially being able to spend more time with my babies.
