Store Books In This Modern Playhouse

Lisa Estall — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 11:43:00 GMT

This Dollhouse Bookshelf would be a nice addition for a little girl’s bedroom. Store books and knick knacks in each of the six “rooms”.

Painted white with green accents, I think it's a nice modern take on a traditional dollhouse. You do have to assemble it yourself and it’s only sold online at Pottery Barn Kids. The price is $399.

The Book Keeper

SunnyChanel — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 19:00:00 GMT

There is a great big pile of books that usually resides next to my daughter’s bed. Throughout the day they inevitably end up getting strewn all over the floor adding even more chaos to the general overall mess that exists. These books are her favorites that just never seem to find themselves back to the bookcase. This Once Upon a Time Pink Stripe Bookholder would be a perfect solution for the popular titles. A stylish way to store the usual suspects and easy for her to grab and pick from. And anything that cuts down on the clutter is fine by me! You can pick one up from Petit Tresor here for $98.

In the Nursery: Neighborhood Bookcase on Sale

This bookcase was inspired by a white picket fence. I like the clean lines and simple design. I also like that it's now $259, instead of $349.

Find the Neighborhood Bookcase at the Land of the Nod. Find the coordinating toddler bed, too, which is also on sale.

In the Nursery: High/Low Modern Bookcase

The Oeuf Classic Mini Library, for me, epitomizes the perfect modern bookcase for the nursery. Every time I see it, I am reminded of how well it shows off toys, even making not so cute toys look good. But I'm equally impressed with another bookcase that is very similar and half the price. See it after the jump...

West Elm's Stacked Modular Shelving (two shelves) is $269 and is available in chocolate and white. (The three shelf version is $399.) I think it would look fantastic in a nursery. Try it with a colored wall or fun wallpaper behind it. Both bookshelves offer easy access and a cool way of displaying toys and books. Okay, the Oeuf bookcase is better. There is no denying it. You do get what you pay for. But for half the price the West Elm bookcase would look almost as good. Find it here.

Find the Oeuf Classic Mini Library at here. ($620 for birch and $650 for walnut)

In the Nursery: 10% Off Ecotots

This is exciting. The new Ecotots Surfin Collection was just released and to celebrate Tiny Decor is offering 10% off all Ecotots furniture (plus their furniture always ship free). Ecotots furniture is made from 100% formaldehyde-free, eco-friendly wood with a durable, non-toxic water based finish and available in natural, red, cocoa, and celery. I love the modern design and if your child likes to take a little nibble on his furniture (like mine, does) that's okay, too.

The above Sideboard Storage Unit is on sale for $360. It can function as toy storage, a reading bench, a TV stand in a playroom, or even as an entry bench. I see dolls and stuffed animals lined up on top. A child doesn't just use storage as storage but also as a toy. And this storage bench looks like a lot of fun to me!

The Big Kahuna Bookshelf (below photo) is sturdy enough to hold all your child's toys and books. It measures 39"W x 19"D x 36"H and the sale price is $360.

Ecotots has been reviewed by Babble in the past (read that post here). Ecotots comes with a lifetime construction guarantee. Shop Ecotots at Tiny Decor.

DIY Modern Bookcase

I spied this bookcase on one of my favorite design blogs, Design Sponge. What an easy way to liven up a tired looking bookcase. It looks so simple that maybe even I could do it.

Just get some wood grained wrapping paper or contact paper and you've got yourself something that would normally cost a pretty penny.

Hand Made: Castle Bookcase

chrisjordan — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 19:06:00 GMT

Play with this like a castle, complete with drawbridge that opens and closes. And then use it to store baskets of toys or books when it is time to clean up.

Certain to make any knight loving, sword wielding boy happy.

Available at John's Woodcrafts for $195

Droolworthy: Classic Tetris Now in a Modern Bookshelf

chrisjordan — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 17:30:00 GMT

Who among us hasn't played Tetris? I think I played it first on my circa 1990 black and white gameboy.

This tetris inspired bookcase, available at Modern Tots, has to be one of the coolest bookcases I have seen. It is pricey, but the wow factor and the ability to configure and reconfigure the modular pieces justify the price tag.

Chose from a variety of exterior and backing colors to suit your decor. Each set ($750) includes one of the five shapes, so building the bookcase shown in the photo will require several sets.
