I like your “bookshelf” idea. It seems like an affordable alternative to similar ideas from PBK and Land of Nod. This room is well put together, but there is lots of room for a child to grow into fill up!

Hey, can you tell me what you typed in on Vintage Etsy to find those cute book shelves you painted yellow? I would love to find something like them or similar but haven’t found anything like them yet.

I love the story behind this room :) I love the room itself. The colors a great too, I think that you’re right in saying that the bright contrasts develop a baby’s vision and intelligence.

Thank you!
karamo81- I just searched and searched and really the person selling them didn’t even know what they were for. I just searched all vintage sellers and looked for anything that could be used as shelves and that I could paint or fix up if they were in bad shape.
CreativeCrumbs- Thank you so much! I actually worked at a preschool so I knew a bit about colors and eye development. But I really wanted something that wasn’t pastels and all snooze. I wanted something fun and playful for her. :o)

For my part, this room would have been perfect if you had toned down on the colors. Nevertheless, it’s obviously a labor of love :) I like it!
