I love to read so when it came to planning the nursery I really wanted to incorporate an area for books.
Now our nursery is on the small space so in order to get the storage space I wanted for books I needed to think vertical and find an opening on one of the walls. We have a window nook that was looking a bit empty so that made finding a hanging area quick easy.
Now it would have been simply to just pick up some picture ledges at IKEA or go the DIY rain gutter route, but I wanted to a little something special to the space and get a dose of lucite into the nursery.
The container store had some lucite/acrylic shelving options:
But they didn’t have a lip on them to hold the books into place and were $19.99 a shelf, which wasn’t going to break the bank, but I wanted something a bit more budget friendly.
Can’t wait to order them. All of the little pieces of the nursery are finally coming together. A lot of my items were on backorder till the beginning of December so it’s been great to see everything start arriving. Can’t wait for the biggest accessory to arrive. 38 weeks this week and I’m feeling it!
I love love love this idea! May totally copy it. I am at 33 weeks today, with still lots on order. I don’t plan on fully converting the nursery/ 9′ x 11′ room until after Christmas. One advantage to small space baby rooms is that you don’t get more than you need…
How have you found these to hold up over time? I’m wondering if they are strong enough to hold up to 3’s & 4’s rough housing? (for my sunday school kiddos, some of whom can be pretty boisterous)

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
Love the lucite shelves! I especially love them in a child’s room where the bookcover artwork is so engaging. Can’t wait to see yours up.
