Pinterest inspired book rack

A few weeks back I was looking for some ideas on how to store and display the kids books. We have a TONNE of books. We have books from my mums childhood, books from my childhood, my aunty has given us all of my cousins old books and then add it all the new books that have joined us since Caden was born and well I would say we easily have 1000 children's books... Short of boxing them all up and only have a few on the shelf I was at a loss for ideas.

Where else would I turn but pinterest. I found a few ideas, but there seemed to be a lot of pins devoted to this type of book rack:







So I decided I would give it a go:



 It is mounted at end of the hallway near Mahli's bedroom.


I used this sweet little deer fabric that has been in my stash for a while. I am planning on making three smaller ones for Ethan's room and then some more for on the walls above Caden and Mahli's beds.


I would also love to give these ideas a go too:










How do you store your kids books?

  1. I've been wanting to make one of these for ages now- yours looks great. You should see my 4 year olds bedroom right now- she has books scattered from one end to the other from waking up very early this morning- really need to get making one of these!
