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.
Here are some of my favorite takes on it:

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.
After some searching I saw this:
{ Quinn’s nursery from Freckles Chic}
It was exactly what I wanted. Then the best part…the price!
They range from $8.75 -$13.00 ! Woo hoo!
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!
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.
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…
Awesome! I just ordered some for my boys room… What a great idea! ~ Thanks
Oh the little libraries are so cute!!! I am amazed at the price of those clear shelves – brilliant!

You’ll love those acrylic shelves. I wish I would’ve gotten more! Best of luck to you in the coming weeks & congrats! =]
{ Thanks so very much for the link love!! }
I love the simplicity of these shelves! Especially enjoy ‘this moment of mine’ little nook in the window.
These are fantastic! Our nursery is way small, too. Ordering these pronto. Congrats on the baby!
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)
No problems thus far and Hudson is 16 months old and in that I want to touch everything phase.
