Here's the finished product.
and the befores...
my oops...
I created the corner shelves with the old shelves from the broken bookcase. All ya need is a few $.78 brackets from Menard's, a power screwdriver, a level and loads of patience.
A hand-me-down sewing machine, which a friend tells me is probably nicer than the sewing machine I use, works as my printing station.
and below serves as my filing station (which I purged biiiig time). These are the tips I used. This approach cut my files down by about 2/3s. So refreshing. Do it!
and it all came together to create this, ahh yay!
Totally high-five worthy, right?
By repurposing my old bookcase and purchasing a few cheap brackets, the look and feel of the room has changed completely. Fancy.

Using the old bookcase for shelving was ingenious! Love the new look! Project well done!

Dang! I'll be decorating my own office soon and I love this idea, definitely will be using it as inspiration. That stretched out book ledge just looks so much more cozy and interesting than a shelf! And I was going to go and buy myself some shelves, this way will be cheaper! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful! As they say "necessity is the father of creation!" I think I like it exactly how you did it! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like your corner shelves. You are so clever to think of that, and they really make the whole room.
