DIY bookshelves and wall decals.

0 opinions

Bookshelves


I love the bridge bookshelf, and now I've found the DIY for it !
This is so simple but also it breaks up the normality of a bookshelf.
See how to make one here
Skateboards are often a beautiful substitute for shelves, skateboards often have beautiful graffiti on them and the sandpaper on top of them can keep books from slipping if you tilt the shelves like this, but here the wheels have been used to support the books in some places.
This one may be a bit pricey, you probably don't have many tables lying around that you have no use for, but if you got 2-3 it might work because you saw the tables in half and paint them the same color or different colors to add a bit of artistic flair to it.

Wall decals.


This one is from the same website, I love this idea because it gives you complete control on what you want to do, it's just contact paper cut down and glued on, you can read more here.
And it can a simple form like bricks or if you're handy and patient, something like this;

And you can always find pictures online and with a little photoshop skill, make an outlines of that image that you can print out and draw on the contact paper.
And if you have no such talent, then I recommend you check out Etsy.com, and search for wall decals(you have already did that if you press the link above), there are thousands of different wall stickers in all sizes and price ranges, you can definitely find something you like there.
Here are some of my favorites;
The cutest thing ever for a newborn.

The wall decals go from around 20$ up to 80$, that's usually huge pieces.
Please let me know if you have any requests and thank you for coming.

The knit stools by Claire-Anne O'Brien 

Chairs like these make the room so cosy.
Knitting also makes a beautiful wall decoration. 
  If you have an old lamp or something that needs a touch-up, knitting around it can be a warm renovation and make the whole room come together in a new interesting way.
And here you can learn how to make this beautiful floor stool and a chunky over-sized knitted blankets !
Learn here how to make a chandelier, a vase or any ideas you can think of with just balloons, glue and yarn, and you can use sugar as well instead of the glue in some cases.
These halloween decorations could make a lovely inspiration for old vases you have, see here.
Old 'boring' picture frames can be given new life with yarn.
And it softens up the picture frames beautifully to have them in the same color.
Or make something completely different and colorful to add personality to those special pictures!
