Books Books Everywhere! A Reading Nook~

In my last post, I showed you how I hung an old school map up in the baby's room (yes, he is four, yes I call him the baby).  You can check that out here if you missed it!
The other little spruce up I did in his room was to add a little reading nook.  He loves books and I love that he does... but peeps... the books are out of control! I am trying to pare down.  But he honestly does just sit and read.
He already has a big book box under his bed but I wanted to keep his favorites that he ends up searching for around the house in a better place.  Enter Ikea.  They have the nicest pictures ledges for $10! Such a steal compared to other places and they are fairly deep so you can get a few books on them.  I did figure out pretty quick though that I would need heavier duty dry wall anchors and screws than what came with them.  If you forgot... my walls are made of cottage cheese!!
I've said it before and I will say it again- don't be afraid to hang things on your walls- holes can be patched so easily... brainstorm... maybe I should do a post on patching walls... anyone interested? Bueller?
Anyhoo... hung those puppies up and then some larger shelves up top for some pics and treasures he finds:)
Can I just tell you that I love sitting in the chair with him?! And I love it also because I bought it from a good friend, so it makes me think of her:)
Enough babble- here are the goods! Look and be amazed.... or at least somewhat interested... help a girl out, it's been a long week!;)

 

I also added some fun new hardware from Hobby Lobby to his dresser to tie in to the brass nail heads on the chair...
Old...                               and New!

Such a sweet boy... by bubba enjoying his space...

I am using a larger picture ledge frame in my older son's room as well and I can't wait to show you that project!
Hope your weeks is amazing!
