Make Your Own Library

If you've got tons of books with nowhere to put them and a big empty hallway or similar space, why not construct your own "Library"? Yesterday a friend constructed a large bookshelf to utilize the unused space in my small apartment.

My previously empty hallway now accommodates dozens of books. Once empty walls now feature some thrifted and collected artwork.

The space feels more inviting and appealing.

I spent about $28 for materials on this bookshelf. I wasn't around to capture the construction, but it's a fairly straight forward shelf. If you're lucky you might find a quality bookshelf one at a thrift store for a lower price.


Eventually I'll paint and "finish" the bookshelf and perfect the art arrangement, but this is a big improvement over the previously empty and unused space.
