shelves for ace

i’ve been feelin crafty lately. i’ve been keeping a list of projects to tackle when the mood hit.

ace has followed his mama into a deep love of books. we needed a way for him to get to some of the books (thicker pages & board books) AND be able to put them away himself while keeping others out of his reach. i wanted him to be able to see the front of the books so he could choose what he wanted to read without emptying the shelf.

Budget = $0

well, i had a pallet from behind the building at work. after searching the web i got some ideas. i made some alterations to fit our project.

1 pallet = 2 shelves and some scraps.

make a couple cuts
pry off 2 boards
sand
attach board to bottom of shelf
find studs & mount on wall.

well, let me know what you think…
