    I bought plastic baskets at the dollar store, and divided books up according to type (board books, audio books, magazines, books about differences, etc). Each book type has a color.

    The sign on the front of the "Magazines" book basket, for example, is yellow. I got all the magazines and taped a square of yellow construction paper on the front cover. At this time, I have 8 baskets. Each one has a different color sign, and the books have the coordinating square on the front cover.

    I have found that the kids are REALLY good at matching the color on the front to the color on the basket sign.. My "shelf" is actually an old changing table that was donated..I sanitized it of course, but it has three good shelves that I have my baskets on!

    Hope this helps a little. I have always wanted to do the rain gutter storage, but can't decide where to put them since I move things around so much!!

        you sound like me. I recently got tired of having too many shelves, so I got rid of three of them and my ex-husband is currently making me a super huge one that includes doors. I am soooo excited...

        I think I move things around a lot becuse of our lessons.....
