book gutters

mr coen has quite a love for books. lucky for him he also has a lot of special people that enjoy buying new books for him. our new playroom was in need of some book storage to help contain some of coen's library. i saw this idea on my friend's blog, alexandersjourney. once i started researching it i found out that rain gutter book storage is a big deal. there are hundreds of pictures on google and numerous blogs that give you the step by step. my favorite was here at, raisingolives. we opted out of using the brackets, and just put drywall scews directly into the gutter. for 5 feet of gutter, we used 4 screws. they seem very sturdy. we are very happy with how our new rain gutter bookshelves turned out. it was a very simple project that only cost about $10!

coen ran in the house and got his saw to help daddy "cut" the 10ft gutter in half.

if you have any questions about installing rain gutter bookshelves feel free to leave a comment below. happy reading!
