DIY : MOST CREATIVE BOOKSHELVES
I’ve been an avid reader for most of my life. It’s hard to sit on a dining table without one, torturous to travel without one and with a new book each fortnight, I have now run out of storage space. As I sat looking through blogs, I realized the bookshelves have gotten as fancy as the books these days! Innovative colors, shapes and angles have redefined the old school, boring three shelf racks. So catch hold of your tools (or erm, carpenter) and find your inspiration amongst the ideas below !

My Personal favorites are the Disappearing Bookshelves (Image 3), Speech Bubbles (10) and the adorable Tick Marks (16).
















Interesting stuff. But do you have to go out and buy books to suit?
Haha ! Depends… Either you love having a ton of books, and want to give them a memorable space… or you make such a kickass shelf that you’re forced to buy books ! Whatever works
Gorgeous! I especially love the speech bubbles and the tree. Such cool designs. =D
