My children have accumulated quite a few books over the past couple of years, so much so that I have split them into 1/3 downstairs for daytime use and 2/3 upstairs for afternoon and nighttime use. Storage of these books has been a problem however. I was going through the kids toys searching for give aways and organizing what is left, both in their play area and in their room and I got to thinking it would be nice for the books to have shelves to display them for the kids to see easily and solve my storage problem. I thought it was going to be an issue that would take a shopping trip to solve then I realized we had an empty bookshelf my husband had built several years ago that we could not decide what to do with since we did not need it any more. I decided to reuse it so I took it apart and created the shelves you see pictured above. I am not very handy with tools, but I had no problem putting together these simple tools with a drill and a few screws. These are the books downstairs...now I think I will rope my husband in to helping me with the upstairs shelves as he is much better with tools. Over all the the shelves look great I will probably paint them this summer. And they are functioning great!
