DIY or DIE

1. Choose your favourite artwork, find a suitable spot and attach the pattern sheet there to the wall or to a board with appropriate dimensions.
2. Check whether you have sufficient nails and hammer in each of the numbered dots of the choosen pattern a nail through the poster.
3. String a thread or yarn from nail to nail in order of the numbers on the poster.
4. Tear away the poster – smaller sections are removed easily with a pair of tweezers.
5. Take a few steps back and enjoy your own “Masterpiece”.

So Desmond and I decided to build a book shelf for our little house. My task: do intense research. Desmond’s task: making it happen.

>> What I learnt first of all: Reading books makes you a better person. <<

>> What I found secondly: bookshelfporn.com – Porn for book lovers. A photo blog collection of all the best bookshelf photos from around the world for people who *heart* bookshelves. <<

So we have several options, we’ll hopefully decide on one very soon.

Love this America book shelf.

The speech bubble bookshelf is also a nice solution.

The stair case book shelf is probably not a DIY project ;)

The tree book shelf might look cool way over our couch. Lucy gave me the proper link (thank you!). Check out Olivier Dolle’s tree shelf.

Read your book case looks like a winner..

To keep things Rock’n'Roll, the READ book shelf inspired me to make a DNA  for Desmond’n'Antonia ;)
