The Cool Bookshelf




We needed a place to put all the new books I got for school. Katie thinks I buy too many, but 23 books is not too many. Bringing about three times that number home from the library, yeah, that was a lot. (I still stand by the idea that there is no such thing as too many books. That's like having too much sugar--no such thing.) Anyway, after filling the little shelf space we had, I decided to build a new book shelf.


Ben watched, and then they decided to help Daddy. Let me tell you, they were more help than you could imagine. I mean, without them I never would have known that so many used nails could fit in one mouth.


As you see, I finished. I call it the cool bookshelf. If you want one, they are only $1000 each. But I could give you a family rate if you mention this blog. (In case it is illegal to sell things on the blog, I'm not. It was just a joke. I don't think anyone would pay that much anyway. (If you really want to pay that much, we'll call it a donation ;) ))

That is an amazing book shelf! I'm so jealous! And I'm SUPER impressed you made it:) Good job. Maybe I WILL buy one from you. he he.

That is a really great shelf. Did you use hard wood? I've seen similar ones on West Elm for way too much. I may have to be a copycat and build one myself.

I actually just got some cheap pine from Home Depot. The materials were probably around $35. As you can see, I have a pretty high mark-up.
