I have been wanting to create Hudson some bookshelves for a while now. I considered making him some from a rain gutter like I had seen on Pinterest. However, I needed smaller shelves to fit in his room and this seemed like the easier option. These are Ikea spice racks that cost only $3.99 a piece. They come unpainted which allows you to customize them whatever color you'd like. I made Hudson a reading and music corner in his room. He loves sitting is his

and looking at his books!

The shelves come unpainted and in 4 pieces. |

Pick your paint color and paint the pieces and let dry before assembling. |

They are really simple to put together. Now you just need to mount them onto the wall. |
