Empty Wall...you can't just leave that!

Now that the Cactus has a dresser,
I'm starting to think about the only empty wall.
Because I CANNOT just leave a wall without something.
That's just crazy.

So here's the corner/wall that's empty.
I'm willing to shift or move the chair as needed...
My options for filling it are pretty varied.  I'm not thinking art so much as I am storage.

On our target registry, I have this bookcase.

It's simple and it has a teeny drawer.  It's about $100, which isn't terrible, but is also the most expensive option.

And that's the only pre-fabricated thing on my inspiration list.

I saw these on a Blog... and I wouldn't do gold rods, but it could be cool for storage.  And I have some random fabric left over.

With that, I would actually probably do several rows.
Too much?  Too pokey-out?


Next up, there are these fabric book slings.

This would stick out less than the one above and could add a pop of color....

The final inspiration I would probably beg my father to make.
He's handy like that.
I like that you can actually see the names of the books.

And I could paint them orange.  I think I would leave off the decorative scroll thing on the side, though.

What do you think?  Any winners here?

Should I figure out a combo of multiple ones?

  1. I definitely like the last 2 the best. We have TONS of books and are constantly looking for more storage for them. Those would be perfect right next to the chair for bedtime reading.

  2. I like the fabric book slings. Tall furniture and babies is dangerous!
