Bookshelf flips to storage cubby


Materials: Ikea Bookshelf

Description: I bought an Ikea bookshelf and it didn't really match the decor of my home. I wondered what I could use it for and came up with this...


I turned the bookshelf on its side and reinforced the shelves with screws. I bought a 1x10x8 board and cut it into different size pieces and screwed them into the shelves sideways. I primed, painted and hung the "bookshelf" on the wall in my kid's playroom for books, bins and toys! It turned out adorable and was a very cheap flip!
