DIY custom bookshelves

(all hard work done by my husband. i take no credit, except for the low-quality photos.)

so our bedroom has this little awkward nook which we think used to be the closet. since we moved in, that space was wasted. we just put a too-big set of drawers in front of the nook and joel used it as a bedside table.

his parents gave us a bookshelf that we never put together so joel cut the pieces to use as the shelves. it turned out to be a long, frustrating process because he had to try all different sorts of tools to mount the brackets.

 eventually they turned out great! joel filled one shelf and let me do my thang with the others.

i think they look SOOOOOOOOOO awesome & i'm grateful to have a handy husband who can do fun projects around our house.

(this shelf holds some of my absolute favs. only missing: a tree grows in brooklyn.)
