Bookshelves

So one day I was browsing through Pinterest and came across the following picture




I thought this would be perfect for DD's room.  I was having the hardest time finding her a bookshelf that would fit her room.  Everyone I found was too big or too small, and I didn't like having all the books clumped together.  These shelves would solve that problem.  So, I went to Ikea and bought their picture ledges in black. They come in white, honey, and black.  I chose these picture ledges because I wanted my shelves to have a lip on it to hold the books in place and the width of them are perfect. Plus these ledges are great price.  The 21 5/8" (the small ledge) is $9.99 and the 45 1/4" (the long one) is $14.99.

 I bought three small ledges and three big ledges.   I then put up a small and long ledge right next to each other and made one long shelf.  I repeated this process two other times.  These shelves/ledges are also super easy to put in.

Here is the finished project.  I absolutely love them.  One, they don't take up any floor space.  Two, they display the books so nicely and DD can pick out whatever book she wants by looking at the picture. Three, it is just a nice clean, crisp look.
