HowTo: Make an Invisible Book Shelf
Want a simple yet elegant piece of accessory that will be the talking point when your guests notice it? Introducing… the Invisible Book Shelf. I first saw this on Chiasso- an American home furnishing retailer- selling for USD15-18.
Since I couldn’t find something like this locally here in Malaysia, I decided that there had to be a way to make this. In essence, it’s only an L-hook which is secured to the wall and the first book, serving as the base of the shelf. Apparently, some other person had thought the same thing, but went one step further by doing it and posting instructions on the web at Instructables (click here for full set of detailed instructions for creating your own D.I.Y invisible book shelf).

I’m glad that there are others out there who share ways and methods for getting designer accessories for a fraction of the cost. Have fun creating your invisible book shelf!
