Thanks shirley. The bookcase IS attached to the wall, but thanks for the concern. I like it this way so that the kids can reach the books, but not the DVDs. And the rug is very frequently played with (like every day). lol

Hi Nikki--
Just taking a look at your space--looks nice--a couple of things--though--the small rug--I would take up and use only when the kids want to play with trains or cars---the tall bookcase--is it attached to the wall--another thing you could also do with it--is your hubby handy--or maybe you? Turn it on it's side---lay down long ways--and go to the lumber yard--measure the inside--get a couple of boards that will fit inside appropriately--a 1x2--cut that 1x2 into strips to use as the supports for your shelves--and add the longer boards for shelves--no--get ome shelf brackets and use the shelves from the existing bookcase--and hang on the wall---as floating shelves---you now have a bookcase--lower for the children and also a bench--they can sit on---or---you can use to add more items on top of---maybe more of your bins---just a thought---to help make your space more useful---
