Embrace your inner librarian! Wear cat glasses and a lot of wool cardigans! Above all, alphabetize!
I painted this bookcase for a school library to (loosely) organize paperback picture books, but I think it would be fun to have in a kid’s room. I used precut cardboard stencils and leftover paint from other projects. The bookcase was leftover, too, and languishing in the basement. I set the bookcase on the ground for browsing, but I think the stencils would work well vertically, too.

I love your bookcase! It’s so pretty and practical, and a perfect way to hold books of different shapes and sizes. And you did it all with leftovers–bravo!
I love this! The horizontal placement is so clever–much easier for browsing. Where’s Mabel?
where can I find a box like this?
I purchased it a while ago, but I bought it as a vertical bookcase from a store specializing in unfinished furniture. I hope that helps!
