In the future baby room there are bookcases that cover the better part of a wall. They're the attached to the wall variety--you know, for stability and such--and they're not moving. One of the nice things about them is that, with books removed, they make great storage cubbies.Having a baby means needing more storage for more stuff, so the books have been moved and I've found some baskets that fit perfectly into the spaces. The baskets, however, needed some minor adjustments to go from decorative to functional. (No one wants a baby getting a sliver from clothing stored in a willow basket.) So, thanks to a fantastic sale at the Jo-Ann Superstore, I picked up six different prints made for quilting for about $2.99 a yard. My favorite by far is the green frog print, but they're all cute and now the baskets are safe for the storage of kid essentials.
Many of these kid essentials will be coming to us from California later this month when Ajay's friends from business school come to Nashville for this year's get together. A very good thing about not being the first of our friends to go down this path is that those who've gone before come with advice and gear to share.
