Book Storage

We’ve been renting our house in Washington which means that we can’t build any book storage on the walls next to the kid’s beds like I want, so book storage in the girls’ room has been a mess.  I bought these under the bed storage containers thinking we could sort the books out and have each girl store her own books under her bed.  To my dismay, the beds were too low and the containers didn’t fit underneath.  So I bought a 4 X 4 and had Zach cut it into blocks which we used to prop up the beds.  3.16.13 wood blocks3.17.13 beds on blocks3.17.13 beds on blocks (2)Now we just need to drill holes in the bottom of the beds and in the wood blocks so that we can use some dowels to make them more secure, but even without the dowels, none of the beds have come off their blocks.
