This DIY, four years in the making, was a satisfying addition to our two-bedroom home where the second bedroom is an office.
Before: Wasted space. A makeshift bookcase fit in here, but didn’t fill the space nor provide enough storage.
Shelves! Deep and wide, a couple of the shelves are actually doubled up with books now. Also, some room to accessorize! These pictures were taken with the door off as well as door trim that has since been updated. The door, back on now, opens to the inside of the room, essentially hiding the bookcase from view! Next project: Barn door-style door in the hallway to close off the room for privacy when necessary. Funny how one thing can lead to another. Here’s to 2016 and many more projects and improvements!
Great idea Carmel! My son’s daughters have a similar space and I will definitely pass this along to them! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I love that idea! What a great use of space.
Hi Carmel!
That is AMAZING. You used the space so well, it is functional and so charming!! I’m inspired!
I am a bookshelf lover; I just love your DIY bookshelf; useful, functional and quite beautiful. I have close to 20 tall bookshelves in my house, and I always feel the need for more somehow. Great use of space. I just love it.
