Repurposed Music Store Displays to Bookshelves
Easy
When we moved in to our historical estate a few months ago, there were lots of "goodies" abandoned in the outbuildings. In the horse barn, we found at least a dozen of these wooden units, once used as a display for CD's in a mall music store. I knew they would be awesome cleaned up and hanging on a wall somewhere!
I was sick and tired of the boring ole' pressboard bookcases we had always used. This offered a whole new look for free and boy was I excited!
My friend and little boy helped me bust out the faux back so the bottom shelf was deeper, and remove some of the middle dividers.
Using a level, we screwed it into the wall. We're talking LOTS of screws here, people. I did not want that to fall down on one my little munchkin's heads. I think Goliath himself could do pull-ups on this baby and it would think a fly was buzzing around it. We used that many screws.
