BAby Furniture-For those who didn't buy a Hutch?

WE are ordering our furniture today and I am not getting a Hutch. Although I love the functuality of it, I never cared for the look of a Hutch.

My MIL plans on doing a wishing well for books but, I just realized I would need to get a book shelf of some sort.

Do any of you have any pictures of any? Any other ideas?

I wish my home had built in shelves.

I have a hutch, but I also just have a little bookcase that holds all of DD's books.

We have a hutch (which I regret gettting, I don't like it either) but I never used it for books.
We got one of the wall bookshelves from Pottery Barn Kids. I love it!

No hutch for us. We got a little bookcase for his books from Target
You can see it in this picture

No hutch for us either...we got a little bookshelf (like Julie posted) from Ikea. It matched the wood color in Jared's room.

We are probably just going to buy a small, basic shelf from Target or somewhere cheap. We also found one we liked at Ikea that had a drawer or 2 on the bottom, then a shelf instead of a third drawer on top.

We have the hutch and a bookcase that matches the furniture...but that doesn't really answer your question does it?! Chat Icon

You could get 2 or 3 of these and stack them:
corner shelf

those are corner ones but you can get just regular ledges that would be deep enough to hold books...and stack 2 or 3 of them on the wall...this way its not a "bookcase" but more like levels of free-hung ledges...does that make any sense?! Chat Icon

I used the corner ones for stuffed animals but they'd work if you did them all the way down the wall and put books on them as well:

We didn't do a hutch, either...the functionality didn't seem to match the price...

Instead, we went to Target and found a great bookcase that matches our furniture perfectly! And it was only $99! Chat Icon

GReat! Thanks girls! I will check out Ikea, Target and Pottery Barn. I'll probably check out Pottery Barn Kids Outlet.
