Ever since we did this post on bookish gifts I've been obsessed with the idea of Floating Bookshelves. The Umbra Floating Bookshelves are quite pricey, so when I saw this DIY invisible bookshelf on Pinterst I had to give it a try and it worked like a charm ! Making 3 bookshelves cost ~15$ including the cost of nails and hammer/screw driver
- L-Shaped Brackets (Home Depot, shelving aisle)
- Screws/Nails
- Hammer/Screw Driver
Since there are brick walls in my apartment I had to use screws with a masonry bit. I'm sure you can use a nail and hammer depending on the surface. This is how May December Home set hers up.

And here is my finished product:
That looks great (p.s: love your brick walls - jealous!!). It is a wonderful way to display 1) your favourite books and/or 2) books with beautiful covers :)
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! When I get out of the apartment-style living, I will definitely have to think about these!
ReplyDeleteIt' also a great way to decorate a room with books that have similar colors. I just hope I get a deposit back with all the holes in the brick (: It's much easier and cleaner to do on a wall.
ReplyDeleteI bet if you used those extra strong Command stickys and only stacked paperbacks it might work.
ReplyDeleteHmmm....:D
ReplyDeleteOooh I love them!
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I live in an apartment now but when I move I am SO trying this out!! Thanks for sharing.
