Red from That Red Headed Stepchild is a lucky woman to be married to a man with some serious woodworking skills. After checking out Ana White’s plans and making a few modifications of his own, hubs set to work and created this beauty! I love how the books face forward so little ones can actually see the covers and know what they’re grabbing. I also think it makes for a more attractive display to see all the bright cover art instead of the book spines.

Red was inspired by the Madison 4-Shelf Bookshelf from Pottery Barn Kids.

Can I actually order from you ? I wanted to purchase the Madison 4-Shelf Bookrack from Pottery Barn but they don’t have it available in white anymore. I would love to order your knock off version. How would i go about doing that? didn’t see anyway to order.
