Her beloved books were enough to convince her of the real use of her new bookshelf, but better safe then sorry. Home Retail Group Card Services Limited is registered in England (04007072) at 33 Holborn, London, United Kingdom, EC1N 2HT. We chose to make three shelves, so this material list is based on materials needed to make three 4-ft long shelves.

With a simple and modern look, this open bookshelf can be perfectly placed in the study room, living room, school, library, etc.We had boring old side-stacked bookshelves (and still do), and both my kids are voracious readers to this day (now in their late teens). I noticed that my daughter has been definitely speaking a lot more in the past few months (she is about 2 months older than Lexi), but I actually credited it to a new school she had started; plus she has always been a big talker. The only reason we chose not to move in that direction for either project was because the space looked more balanced with wider shelves.

Now, we also have some empty wall space, particularly in the little kids’ rooms, where I haven’t done a ton of decorating. We recently purchased this Montessori bookshelf made of natural wood for our home-schooled boys, and it has been an absolute delight. She can reach almost all the shelves easily by now, and she’s beginning to learn how to put her books back in place. Given her early love for books, my husband and I decided to create a special gift for her first birthday: we built a custom Montessori front-facing bookshelf.I’m good at tasks requiring patience: I like carefully refinishing, cleaning and perfecting details. Whether in nurseries, classrooms, or playrooms, this Front-Facing Bookshelf sparks a lifelong love for reading, making each story an exciting discovery from the very beginning. Also my mom was supposed to come this month, so I was very excited cuz it’s a great time to inject another Russian source, but she is being delayed. Books are displayed with the cover facing out allowing children to recognize familiar images and independently choose which book interests them the most.

Carine has been running a Montessori based parents and toddler group and coaching families for 9 years.Through the years, the unit creates a reading culture at home as well as teaches the little ones to do a quick clean-up themselves. We all want to be able to see the books on offer, these shelves are really sturdy and super easy to put up and create a really welcoming corner. Christmas in the warm climate will always feel very exotic to me… I have mostly lived in places where it is fairly cold for Christmas (even in Nor Cal it is not “warm”), and the first time I was in Brazil for Christmas it was nice but very strange, incongruent… I am somewhat jealous that you get to do it every year.
