Spice Rack Book Shelves

{ or kids room on a budget}

Lovely Little daughter has a lot of books and I have been looking for cute affordable storage ideas for a while, so when I saw this great idea on another blog (or ten)  I knew I must give it a go. I managed to persuade Lovely Husband to go to Ikea on Saturday (we don’t particularly enjoy going to Ikea, let alone on a Saturday morning) but some things just need to be done.

So here are said spice racks transformed into book shelves. The bottom one even has little hooks for all those little bags. And we got a little organiser which I painted and stamp labelled and now holds about one thousand Alice bands and one million hairclips. It is needless to say that both Lovely Husband and I are very pleased. 



 




And here are three of my favourite spice rack book shelves I found on the web:


Love,

  5. We've got millions of books as well...! It's a nice idea. I love Each Peach Pear Plum!
    I use those Ikea Spice racks for my sewing room... I must say I like Ikea,but my partner doesn't, so I've to be super organised and have everything gathered in less than an hour when we go there...

    What a fantastic idea to use spice racks. Those worked out perfectly. I may have to pick up a few to hold all my craft magazines.
    Have a great week,
