Creative Reading Corner Ideas

My girls are excellent readers. Growing up, this was not true of me. I hated to read. This lead me to the conclusion that they got some of this love through their environment over their genetics. I did a few things to “manipulate” good readers including creating an environment that embraced reading. From the time they were very young, I rarely said no buying them a book. I shopped wisely, but when a book was finished, I often purchased a new one. This was especially true when they began reading chapter books and series. This grew and grew our library to the point where most of our shelves are strewn with books. In fact, my son’s bedroom is a library. I love this as he is only two years old and falls asleep surrounded by books.

Buying Used Books

I have been able to shop frugally for my girls. Often, I purchase used books from Thrift Books or, my favorite, Better World Books. These books come in decent conditions. Sometimes they are a used library book or a book from a home. Either condition, doesn’t matter to me. It’s not the outside of the book, it’s the journey they go on inside.

When my girls were young and just beginning to read, I gave them the option to either go straight to sleep or to read in their bed another hour. I left a clock in their room and provided book lights if they chose the later. One of our favorite books to get started on reading was Bob Books. Currently, they are in 3rd and 5th grade and I still provide this same rule. Go to bed or read until (the time I provide.)

Creative Kids Reading Corner Ideas

Doing a few of these things – providing books, providing time, and providing a space – as created girls who love to read and are very good at reading. They are creative, young ladies, and I attribute it to these resources.

To provide your own enjoyable reading environment, take a look at some of these Creative Kids Reading Corner Ideas for the Home to create your very own young readers in the home.

You might find some of these ideas in our Teen Bedroom Spaces and also in our Bookshelf Styling Ideas.

Need a party idea? Looking to host a white party theme event? We have all the White Party Ideas to get you celebrating. From White Party Decor, White Party Foods, and White Party Outfits, take a look at these resources to get your starting. Happy partying. Happy white partying!

White Party Ideas

While we made an adorable Winter ONEderland Party (for a one year old), I get a lot of visitors for White Theme Party Ideas. Because of this, I wanted to take some of our Winter Wonderland Ideas and incorporate it into an adult white party, for those of you that are looking!

What is a white themed party?

Do not get confused, a white party is not to exclude any race. In fact, it’s pretty opposite. It is to celebrate all! The White Party Theme is pretty self-explanatory. It is a party where the color white is the theme. From the food to the party decor, the clothing, the tablescape, and more, everything is attached to the color white. White parties are great for bachelorette parties, baby showers, New Year’s Eve celebrations, summer parties, or really any occasion.

White parties are best in the evening from sunset to late at night. The white is perfect for lighting techniques like black lights, candles, or even fairy lights. The biggest struggle is likely with the food. Trying to find white food can be especially challenging. Pinterest is always a great place to find white food but we also included some White Party Food ideas below.

Before your party begins, don’t forget to download your White Party Music Club List!

Enjoy the party!… we mean the White Themed Party!

White Party Decor

What do you serve at a White Party?

The easiest way to have white food is to have a white candy buffet. It requires no baking but really brings your color pallet forward. I love Oh Nuts which allows you to shop by color. I recommend some these Anchor Hocking Heritage Hill Jars, also hit up the Dollar Store for cheaper options. Candy Warehouse also has a whole White Party Candy Buffet kit (glass not included). Don’t forget the white rock candy!

All White Party Ideas

Just look at these stunning All White Party table decorations!

For tables, rent or buy white flamingo petal tablecloths for beautifully decorated ambiance. They look beautiful with a light source below them. |

Need some table inspiration? Pull from this Brit.co White Tablescape with touches of rose gold. We love the white flowers draping from above.

On the table, mix white hydrangeas and white candles. Various styles and sizes of glass candle holders would be best. I suggest tea lights, short candles, tall candles and even floating candles – so affordable! Also, introduce mercury glass candle holders. It really pops when lit! | Wedding Chicks

Light up the night with these unique paper lanterns that are an exquisite addition to your White Party Decor.

And when all else fails, just buy a lot of white balloons and white string! | Source

White Party Foods

What are foods that are white? Glad you asked. We have you covered.

Care for a white party dessert? Instead of a white cake, these sugar cookie truffles are a four-ingredient no-bake recipe that uses sugar cookies, cream cheese, white chocolate and sprinkles. Did we mention they are white? | If You Give A Blonde a Kitchen

White chocolate is such an easy solution for covering sweet and savory foods. We love these White Chocolate Covered Pretzel Rods with mini candy pearls. | Martin Thornburg

A pergola is the perfect place to hang white drapes for your White Party Themed Setting. | Style Me Pretty

Collect various white wine and white glass bottles (or visit the Dollar Store.) Pick up White Corked Fairy Lights for beautiful illumination in the dark.

Tip: Test all the lights before the party. Do not use until. Some of these cheaper lights will only have a few uses and you don’t want them to run out before the big event. If some are not working at purchase, write Amazon and see if they can replace. That way you are not disappointed the day off!

Don’t forget the invite! Send your guests this White Party Invitation with all the specifics.

White Party Dresses

Don’t let your white party attire be a struggle. Clearly, make sure your tops, dresses, bottoms and even shoes are white. It’s best to have a good tan to allow this color to do it’s thing – pop! I would suggest sunless tanning lotion. You can a day or two before to prevent it from bleeding on your outfit. You can view some of my top three best sunless tanning lotions.

V-Neck Bell Sleeve Mini White Themed Party Dress

Crochet Pom-Pom Bell Sleeve Dress

Converted Old Crib into New Desk #DIY #Craft #Pinterest #Tutorial

Do It Yourself Child’s Desk from Old Crib

(Scroll over image to Pin to Pinterest)

Crib Desk

Well I did it! I converted my daughter’s crib into a desk! I had a Pinterest “you must be drunk” moment when I saw an example online and I found this project to be incredibly easy. I did it without help and no sewing! It was a great way to recycle an old crib and reuse my little girl’s oversized furniture.

How to Turn a Crib into a Desk:

I took off the front part of her bed (her bed can easily convert into a day bed or a full bed.)
I placed the crib in the highest position. This gave elevation for a desk and room for my child’s legs.
I measured the width and length of where the mattress pad normally lays. I had a board cut to size. Note: Home Depot cut it up for FREE. This was about $20 with plenty of extra scrap board for other craft projects (the wheels are already turning.)
I primed and then painted the board which chalkboard paint. This was about $20.
I used my daughter’s old bed skirt to hide the area below the crib. Underneath the desk, I have plenty of hidden storage! This is probably my favorite feature.
For less than $40 at Home Goods, I was able to get baskets and display suitcases to place paper, crayons, markers, and other desk activity items. This was $40 and included the price of a lamp on clearance for $20.
I hot glued ribbon that I had already around the edge of the cut board. This gave the trim extra detail and prevented the “rough” sides from rubbing against my kids when they played.
I used two chairs I had in the house to complete the seats for the desk.

Total: My total out of pocket to repurpose the crib was about $80.

Save More: I could have saved at Home Goods by using items I had around the house or hitting the Dollar Store for possible storage solutions. I also purchased a board that was more expensive. There were cheaper options at Home Depot.

Love this idea, pin it to Pinterest! Scroll over the image to upload.

It is a great idea for a future craft!
