Who had the cool bookshelf link?

Molly Jean · May 2011

Didn't someone have a DIY bookshelf link from awhile back (maybe a year+)? I think it was a blog...

I can't even remember exactly what it looked like but they were single shelves on the wall. I do remember the blog photos had a cute little girl in them if that helps, haha.

Sam? Tiffany? I think it might have been either of you?

The one w/ fabric? I am having my sister and BIL make a couple of these for the girls for their birthdays b/c I think they are so cute!

I am pretty sure the only one I have linked is the book sling. I've made those for all of my nieces and nephews. They love them. Just make sure that you put them in a stud. An anchor still isn't strong enough. There is also the gutter shelves.

Yep, that's the one All-his. Thanks!

smtaylor - good tip on the installation. I'll keep that in mind... although I'm also loving these gutter shelves now!

I made the sling ones for both boys and girls. For some reason the boys just like doing pull ups on them. Not good! That is how I learned that studs are an absolute must. I was going to do the slings and now I have decided that I am doing the gutters instead. Plus I see other things being set in there too (stuffed animals, movies, whatever).

Good point. Although I can still see the gutters becoming pull-up bars too

Still, they're adorable, like you said, could hold other things as well. Looks like I might need to make a trip to the ReStore...

Here is the tutorial for the gutter shelves. http://raisingolives.com/2009/07/raingutter-book-shelves-tutorial/ I see your point in that the gutters could be pullup bars. She pointed out a good piece of info that i didn't think of that since the kids can see the fronts of the books they are more into reading. But it makes sense!

I made these and love them: http://www.ana-white.com/2009/11/plan-collector-shelf-knock-off-of_11.html (sorry, don't know how to make it so you can click on the link!).

They are Pottery Barn Knockoffs. In fact this site is amazing for everything, you can diy all your own furniture!
