After getting bunk beds for her boys’ room, Jen from Scissors and Spatulas wanted a wall-hanging book bin like those from Land of Nod for her little guy on the top. There was no way though she was paying $70 for “a few pieces of wood.” Jen’s hubby grabbed some scrap wood and trim pieces from the garage and put a book rack together with just a few screws and nails.
Jen painted it blue, and it’s just like the real deal. The only difference… about $65!
Jen was inspired by the Bin There Done That Book Bin from Land of Nod.

I love this for my grandson so I forwarded it to my husband to make for Christmas this year. Thanks for the idea.
I’m so glad you were inspired, Deborah, and hope your grandson loves it!
i’ve been wanting two of these for YEARS!! i’m showing my hubs as soon as he is home…
Well, I sure hope you can finally have one! It looks pretty simple to make, and, if you’ve got some scrap wood, very inexpensive too. 🙂
