I am so excited right now because we did some organizing in the school room today and I love it! My husband built some wonderful book shelves for me. Here is the link for the bookshelf plans that my husband used----> http://www.frugalhomedesigns.com/2010/0 ... elves.html I'm also pleased with the idea that I came up with for organizing the colored pencils. Here are some pictures. I thought it was so funny that the dog and cat decided they wanted to be in the picture.

Leah, I love your bookshelves! Having the wall space is great to have things so that the kiddo's can see them right away! What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Love it!

What a great idea! I'm already thinking of all the places those shelves could be used in our home.

I think the cat likes the new bookshelves and is wondering why you didn't save a space up there for him. I love the colored pencils sorted that way. What sort of a container is that? I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it. It really works well for your pencils. Everything looks so nice and organized. I love it!

Your cat is definitely enjoying the lovely bookshelves and display. I'm impressed with your organization, and that your husband can build bookshelves! It looks really nice.

Thanks Everyone!

I was glad to share, Moedertje. It is wonderful to have that wall space. That is the largest room in our house and I'm grateful to have it.

Thanks, Lourdes.

Stephanie, you should do it you will love them!

Haha Patty! I'm sure she would love to hang out on the shelves. They are only 4 inches deep though so not sure if she would fit, but I guarantee she will try as soon as he takes some of those books down. The container is a caddy for vintage glasses that I bought at an auction a while ago. Here's a picture.

I'm sure you could also use a little caddy made for cleaning supplies or tools. I will probably eventually get one so I can put the glasses back.

Thanks, Kristin! My hubby is quite a handyman and I am sooo glad!

Oh you're so lucky to have a handy DH! They look great!

I see your cat reads.

I love your shelves! They look great. I also love your animals. With 6 cats and a dog, you can say I am a bit of a glutton when it comes to animals. LOL

I believe you mean your dog is a glutton. Poor thing is outnumbered.
Carry on ladies. Sorry for the OT!
