I love, love, love this project. For one, anyone at all can do it. Two, it was an inexpensive fix that takes up very little wall space. Three, it would have been cheaper had I not changed my mind and spray painted them twice.
This is in the boy’s bunkroom that is still in process. When we built the bunks, we knew that we would be losing the ability for any piece of furniture on the entry wall.
These bookshelves fit the space perfectly. I originally found them on Pinterest (and have seen many versions floating around). BTW, if you need a Pinterest addiction invite, let me know and I would be happy to send you one.
Total cost (including two cans of paint that I ended up painting over): $40
The absolute best part – Boo and Princess Fiona can see the titles of their books and have been reading a lot more since these went up Saturday afternoon.
Love,
Bev

I love these. I think I may have to do some for my boys new bedroom.
thanks Amy, if you do, I would love if you shared pictures of your version! xoxo, Bev
I have got to do this – I’ve picked up the racks about a hundred times! Thanks for the inspiration!
You are so welcome! I hope you love them as much as I do!
I went to Ikea today and they were out!!! And wont be in stock till the end of Feb.
The clerk said that everyone was coming in to buy these because of the blogs….I guess mine will have to wait.
oh no! That is a horrible thing
Where are you? I can check in Dallas if you’d like.
Love this idea, I am actually making an Ikea list! I desperately would love an invite for Pinterest, I have been waiting on one, my daughter said it took a while. Thanks so much. I will be a new fan of your blog.
I just sent you an invite
Happy Pinning! My Ikea list is always long…
Thank you! I am a Meme to two – grand girl fixing to turn eight and grand boy who is 4 1/2. Can’t wait to get
some great inspiration. Blessings to you.
Wow! I love this, and I’ve just pinned it for my daughters room.
Found you via Primp your Stuff.
Thanks Catherine – I am so glad you visited and love it. It has worked wonderfully this week as the kids can see what they want and not pull everything off the shelf
What a wonderful idea!!! I love these…would look gorgeous with tons of my ephemera and antique photographs tucked inside too
Wishing you a great week Bev! xxoo, Dawn
Such a great idea Bev…we have so many books all over the house, this would be so useful….thanks for sharing…xo
