If you've been reading this blog for a while, you'll know that I have used IKEA ledges and spice racks as bookshelves in most (all?) of the kids rooms I have designed. In Maya's new room, I used the IKEA picture ledges as bookshelves and they worked perfectly. Here are the reasons why I love doing these outward facing "libraries" in kids rooms: 1 // Books as art. Kids books have such fun ... View the Post

We wanted to get word out about our wedding date quickly once we had nailed it down, so sent out a pretty basic save ... View the Post
