There are a whole bunch of DIY projects in that room that came out so sweet!Īnd James’s scandinavian slash camping themed room is all kinds of modern and fun with a DIY mountain mural and more. If you are looking for more kids room decorating ideas, be sure to head over to Maya’s mint and pink nursery. I have since also used IKEA’s Ribba picture ledges for outward bookshelves in kids rooms, and have done a comparison of the two products over in this post. If we had a really huge room, I would have loved to do bookshelves across a whole wall. Dreams! It’s so nice to have some of the books out of our big basket and up on the wall. I kept it to 4-5 books per shelf, but there is still plenty of space to add a few more books per shelf if I decide to. The design of the spice rack really is perfect for holding books up. It was overcast here this weekend (we even got our first snowfall!), so not much natural light coming in from the window. Sorry about the bad lighting in these photos. Then I popped in some of little miss Maya’s books – all ready to go for bedtime stories. The light switch was in a weird spot, but I didn’t want the shelves to be off-centered on the wall, so we just made sure that the switch would come between two of the shelves and still be easily accessible. We centered the shelves on the wall, and placed them so that they would be low enough for Maya to grab at when she’s a bit bigger. We used one of Maya’s bigger board books as a guide for how much space we wanted between the shelves (14 inches). The back is all ready to be mounted to the wall, but you need to have your own mounting hardware. Once I started applying the white spray paint, I did a light sand between coats with a fine grit sanding sponge to get the racks more smooth. This really helped give them a polished look and kept them super soft to the touch (good for little fingers and hands!). I find this raw wood from IKEA really soaks in the paint.
