So excited to be finished with Lindsey’s bookshelf!!! She loves it! After two coats of primer and three coats of semi-gloss interior paint (sanding between each coat), we finally lugged it up the stairs and into her room this afternoon.
She is very excited and had so much fun setting it up just the way she wanted it. She has a shelf just for special items (like trinkets from Austria and India) and several other special items mixed among the books. Of course, there’s a shelf dedicated to all of her German books too. She was upset that I took photos today though because two of her Harry Potter books are missing, so there is only one on the shelf. I think they’re at Nana and Papa’s house! :) She even stole the little bowl of “rocks collected on Lopez Island” from Daddy’s desk. So cute!
Wanted to make sure I mentioned again that these woodworking plans came from the amazing Ana of Knock Off Wood. I modified her 3×3 bookcase plans (inspired by Pottery Barn’s Bedford collection). Without her website, we would never have attempted to make this from scratch! The 3×3 Pottery Barn bookcase is around $400! We spent about $60 on lumber! Can’t wait to make something for Anna’s room next!!!
