House Bookshelf
Here's a bookshelf that I made a few years ago to house our picture books. It

ReplyDeleteHi. This is really cute. Can we have the dimension? Width, height, space between shelf, depth, depth of the special shelf on the side? I would love to do it for my son. I will help me getting started. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi, Henri- Here are the dimensions you asked for:
Delete37.25" wide
9.25" deep
53" tall at peak (roof pieces are both 24.5" long)
10.5" space on the bottom shelf
13" space on the 2nd shelf
12.25" space on the 3rd shelf
The front piece that separates the side shelf is 9.25" (it is open between the side books and the other books)
Good luck with your project!
