Our Pottery Barn addition :)

Since we started planning Amelia's nursery WAAY back when, we were trying to figure out the best place to keep all of her clothes, because the closet in her room in Jonathan's. There is also a 6 drawer dresser in her room, also Jonathan's. So, short of having Jonathan move all his stuff into the closets downstairs, which is just cruel, we had to think of another way. We had been browsing online at Pottery Barn kids, just to look, never to buy because their stuff is outrageously priced. We found a cute set of cubbies that were stack able in various ways so if you were to rearrange the room you could also rearrange the look of the cubbies. We peeked at the price and for the plywood set of cubbies it was a mere $999.99. Woofta. After looking at them more closely, and then finding the dimensions listed on the website, Jonathan said, "I could make those!" Yay for Jonathan, I love it when he says stuff like that. After working long, hard hours over at Melody and Tom's house, we got to bring the cubbies home last night, and I love them!! There's lots more room for all of her stuff so we can be lots more organized. Check it out:

Here they are newly set up with nothing in them.


Here is when i started to put the boxes into place. The cube on the top that's just open is going to have a rod in it to hang all her dresses.


We did some rearranging of her room and put the cubbies on the wall that had her cradle, and moved the cradle under her quilt with her name. We will obviously have to move this again when she can grab stuff because tugging on the quilt would be no good!


Thanks Jonathan! I love them!

Jonathan's an artist and you're quite a receptive patron of the arts. You almost persuade me to try my hand at it too... we still have so many projects to do around our place. Nice work.

Good work, J. Build a set for us next. ;) Looks like you're off the hook for having to treck downstairs to get your clothes everyday. -Amy
