Hi Breni, you can buy put-to-gether book shelves from any online store, then finish them off with trim to have that built in look. And get that cute little thang on the couch to help! She can supervise...
Ha! Thank you for the both suggestions. She's cute but sassy. She may be too bossy to supervise!
how about baskets under the coffee table?? seems like a lot of area under it.
Hi Breni, do you have an IKEA near by? They have a variety of bookcases that would look nice in this area and they aren't that expensive. There are many ideas on Pinterest, too. The idea of using baskets under your coffee table would work really well, too.
Yes! Baskets under the table. I'm so glad I asked this questions. Great ideas.
I've seen lots of projects accomplished with wood pallets. Not knowing the depth/space where you'd like to do this, if you can find 1 or 2 wood pallets from some work project, (talking free here), they might work for you. Probably might need a size adjustment and painting but if you check out all the projects done with wood pallets on this site, you'll be inspired.
