Chloe's Book Nook

There is a small nook in our hallway downstairs.
This fabulous Marshall's find was just the right size to squeeze in there.
And perf for DVD collection storage.

That is, until Chlo-bow turned one.
I had to put a gate up, or else...

...she'd be all up in it's grill.
{single tear}

This has been a prob for a while, so this morning I decided to figure out a solution.
{'Cause I don't think Chloe's a fan of being a prisoner in her own home.}

So, I hit up my laundry room change jar.
{There is an unspoken rule in our house that if you leave change in your pockets, all proceeds go to me aka laundry service o' Dunn household.}

I rolled my change {which took me six months to collect} while Chloe consumed her breakfast.
We went to DI, Half Price Books, and Ross to score some sweet deals on used books.
We also purchased a posh stool for Chlo to cozy up on.

We came home & relocated the DVDs.
And then created a lil book nook for some toddler leisurely reading.

I couldn't be more excited about our new installment!
And Chloe's in total heaven.

{Happy Thursday}
