paper on wall with floating bookshelf

Not only is this love at first gasp photo awesome because it’s just awesome… it also has floating bookshelves, like the ones in my tutorial. Super cool! I’m seriously tempted to recreate the book-pages-wall look in maybe the powder room in our home? Hmmm… I can’t decide which wall to do this to. It’s just so fun looking. Would require A LOT of tape and a very boring book, one not worth rereading. I hope to one day have a before & after photo showing you where I recreated this wall in my home, but today I’ll only share the idea with you. It for sure would have to be a wall where the air conditioning vent is NOT directly aimed at… LOL! That would get annoying very quickly. Can you tell I have an air conditioning vent aimed at a wall in our home, I confess, I do.

Ok, this is my first tutorial… maybe my only tutorial. Who knows! A friend of mine named Becky taught me how to make these awesome recycled floating bookshelves. I once sold them in an Etsy shop, but I now don’t have the time or desire to sell them anymore. So, I thought I’d just teach you all how to make them yourself, just like Becky once taught me. Kind of like Confucius’s famous quote: “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.” Somewhat applicable, right? This tutorial has been my list of “to do’s” for months now. I’m so happy to be sharing it with you.
