A vintage chemistry set by A.C Gilbert, c. 1940. It’s hard to imagine that we used to trust children with open flames and radioactive materials, but it wasn’t so long ago. Vintage chemistry sets, as recently as the 1960s, came with everything youngsters needed to conduct experiments at home. They included fragile glass beakers, alcohol lamps, and elemental chemical samples.

So excited to share this little precious space in Riley’s room with you guys because you are the ones that helped me with the idea! A few weeks back I asked you all on my Instagram story what you thought I should do with this small space next to Riley‘s bunkbeds, and the vast majority of people said that I should turn it into a little reading nook.  I absolutely love that idea because there’s no space for me to comfortably sit with Riley in his room and read a book before bed.
