Thanks to AT reader Rob, the Apartmequarium guy from last year's Smallest Coolest Contest, we're sharing the coolest how-to for making your own invisible bookshelves. Check it out here.
We love this because it's one of those projects where you get the greatest results with such little means. Easy-to-find, cheap materials, a little (very little) elbow grease and voila!

I'm for the functionality.
usually i buy paperbacks and these end up getting all messed up and uglied after being stowed in my pocketbook for the length of time i read them....i'll take the book with me everywhere to read whenever i have free time (waiting on lines at a supermarket....waiting for a train or bus...whatever)
since i don't worry about the condition of ALL of my books, no big deal. the ones i do care about i keep on a regular shelf and they're not in my kitchen. Also, i don't hold onto books after i've read them. i like the idea of using my cookbooks as shelves in this way...besides, since i use my cookbooks and i'm not the neatest cook...they get a little messed up anyway. i'm not worried about them getting ruined on an umbra shelf or something like it.
LIFE WOULD JUST GO ON.
