We had been keeping my daughters books in a basket next to the rocking chair, but it was hard to find a particular book upon request, so my wife had me make a set of shelves to function as a bookshelf. They are made out of maple, but reluctantly painted white at the request of my wife.

These look very functional while taking up less room than most book shelves. Kids can collect too many books that have been read and never looked at again. This is a good way to “thin the heard”.
Sometimes white is the way to go, like in a kids room and when mom wants it….......................

I agree about it being the way to go when mom wants it, but I just hate to cover up natural wood.

Good solution. May help to limit the size of the collection as well. My daughter’s bookshelf is overflowing and just becomes a problem.

Nice job! My wife made me build the same type of thing last week. She wanted the ones for my daughters room to wrap around a corner wall though. I posted the project last week. I’m sure those shelves will get a lot of use!

Scott, I checked out your shelves and the wrap around design is really nice. Good work.

Looks good.
It also looks like they are already near full. You shoulda made ‘em longer (corner to curtains) to hold future additions ! :-)

She’s a lucky girl and has quite a few more than what’s on the shelf. We rotate them out every month or so.
