This is happening around here and it’s very exciting!!
Remember back here when I shared about the bookshelf inspiration for the new nursery for the girls?
Liv’s room doesn’t have a closet (nixed that when we built the new bathroom) and suddenly storage became a key factor and a big consideration when redesigning the kids’ room for baby #2. We are bursting at the seams with Liv, and even though we’ll scale back and keep only the essentials, this built-in bookcase is going to be fantastic for the space!! Check out those deep toy drawers and the tall bookshelves waiting to be filled with critical kid supplies. Ahhh, I can hardly wait.
Kevin teamed up with our amazing neighbor who is a retired carpenter and who happened to hear about our plans to build the shelving and window seat unit. I cannot believe how fortunate we are to have him as a friend :).
We opted for a craftsman, Shaker-style design so that the built-ins would match our kitchen (which now has near matching cabinetry). I’m thinking of purchasing the same pulls to keep the look and feel consistent?
Next up, painting and installation!
Inspiration pictures from DecorPad (can’t find the original owner of that great blue kid’s room) and Centsational Girl.
Wow, the built-ins look wonderful. Can’t wait to see how they look once they’re actually built in! Hurry! :D
So exciting! You’re definitely lucky to have such a helpful neighbor. That said, you’d better get moving…you don’t have much time left!
Right? I can’t believe it! Any day now ;).
