Here’s a nice, down-to-earth tip for creating your own fancy bookshelves. Using some wood found on the street, Michelle Nicholls, a student at Pratt Institute designed and built these diagonal shelves. Don’t let the picture fool you, they can very well stand on their own and hold a bunch of stuff too.

We figured it would be a nice and simple idea for you to be able to store all those books and CD cases you had lying around your room. Also, it’s not all that hard to do, you just need some nails, some paint and a bit of imagination.
