DIY Floating Bookshelves
I'm back again with another small project in my son's room before we reveal another section of the room. We did a slide last week and we're tackling some bookshelves this week. It's a pretty simple project, but I wanted a complete tutorial that anyone could access to make their own. I recycled some wood from the guest bedroom headboard for this project and made a plan for a set of shelves that have a bar in front so we can fit big and small books on the shelf without them falling off.

The bookshelf we had in Jackie’s bedroom just was not cutting it. It was overflowing, it wasn’t secured to the wall and there was too much extra stuff that we wanted to put on it that we just didn’t have room for. I went to Pinterest to look for something that might work for the space. I ended up finding a Pottery Barn shelf that had a ledge on it that I absolutely loved. I did not, however, love the price. So, I came up with my own much taller design of that shelf, got all the measurements I needed and got to work.
