Book Nook

I’ve been wanting a bookshelf for MonkeyBoy’s room for over a year. I found some plans for the kind I wanted online, and MonkeyMan set to work on building them over the holiday break. Since we don’t have a workshop, he had to take over one side of the garage moving the project out of the way to park. Our unusually cold weather delayed the project quite a bit, but it finally warmed up enough so that MonkeyMan could put on the final coats of paint. We hung up the bookshelf this evening and MonkeyBoy is very excited to have a new place to store his growing library. Didn’t MonkeyMan do an excellent job?

    Ohmygosh. I love it!! MonkeyBoy looks too cute in his little chair. He just needs an ottoman to prop those feet up! :)

    Please tell me you found the plans online and can send me a link. I love those kind of shelves and want to make some for the kids. They look great!

    MamaMonkey says: Of course it was online and free. Is there any other kind? :)

    He started with this http://www.marthastewart.com/good-things/making-childrens-bookshelves and then made some slight modifications as he made it.
