curlgirl Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Could you read my ideas and give me some feedback please???? I love the baskets lined with cloth and a bow on the front. I think that a shelf that has four spaces for four baskets one on top of another would be nice. I am currently home schooling four children and this way they could each have a basket for books. The fabric and baskets are pretty so it wouldn't look like "school" in the middle of my dining room. However, the more I think about it the more I am thinking that if I fill them with my kids schoolbooks that they are going to break with all that weight in them. I like the idea of the shelf and would like the containers to partially hide the school books. I want the containers to match my house and look "pretty." Am I being picky? Do you have any other brilliant ideas for me? Thanks so much for your help! BTW I loved the thread from last week with all of your school room pictures! Maybe I could have condensed this whole thread into how do YOU store your books???:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 What about nice looking magazine holders? They would hide the books, but wouldn't be quite so heavy for the kiddos to pull off the shelf. Interested in more ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlgirl Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Now that's a thought! I had not thought that direction. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Jo Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I like your idea. I mainly want to say I don't think you are being picky - I'd like to do the same thing actually, I just need to finalize and stack this years books to make sure things would fit. I've spent my life being messy, and as I am trying to keep things cleaned up, I find pretty & useful containers very motivating. If I ever get my sewing machine running, I may try to make pretty covers for some plastic crates (hopefully smaller ones than my file crate). They seem to hold up pretty well.
