And an other DIY project for the kids bedroom...
 |
this one inspired (plans included from Ana-White) - if you still don't know who Ana White is... check out her site; IT IS BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING and above all INSPIRING - I first came across Ana's site, 2 years ago when I was searching about DIY bunk-beds - she didn't had a design that would fit the kid's room (so I am making my own one)... but she has so many other ideas and plans, that I keep going back to her site ... next one on my list (also from Ana's plans) is a Mood-room or entrance storage cabinet (but that's for next time...)

A while back I realized that with the new layout for
the room we'll end up with a "death corner", in the other hand we
also need it more kid's friendly shelves (where the children could reach for
the books by themselves). This is when I started to think that a flat
wall shelving unit would be the perfect solution. My husband and I waited
to the last week of the year to build it. It took over 2 days
to complete; as before, (we recently find out our local DIY
store pre-cuts the wood free of charge :-) so here is an other plus
to easily customize our home furniture) in this case we used MDF 12mm, but first we adjusted Ana's original plans to better fit our
needs.

Even when most of the board was pre-cutted, my husband still had
to do some work, like hand-saw the round indents and other bits and
pieces.
Our
flat wall shelving unit comes to 170cm long, 80cm wide and
20cm thick (the distance between shelve is 40cm, I need more space
than the original designed plan as some of the books we own are
already 32cm long)

Then, it was a
matter of sanding, nailed together with the stapler's gun, and painted the
following day (as it was getting dark by now)- I painted in a light cream green colour as the opposite wall
