I’m so excited to tell you the latest news here at MRL. We have a new contributor! Isn’t that exciting? Mindi from MyLove2Create will be blogging a couple of times a month showing you great DIY tutorials. I love all of Mindi’s projects, and today’s is no exception. Take it away Mindi!
Hello My Repurposed Life Readers, my name is Mindi and I blog over at MyLove2Create. I am super excited to be a contributor here! I have always admired Gail and her amazing skills in the field of DIY and repurposing, I can't tell you how much she has inspired me!
Today I am sharing a fun project I created for my daughter's room...
A repurposed peg hook shelf into a fun book shelf!
She LOVES it! It is a great way for her to hang her stuff, keep her books organized and display her art work, and I love it because it keeps the mess off her floor!
It all started with a lonely old hook shelf that has been sitting in my shed collecting dust.
Seen one of these before? I am sure a lot of you may have one. I had the idea to make a bookshelf on top...
Please be sure to leave Mindi the love that you would normally leave for me in the comments below. She worked really hard on this fabulous project and blog post! So happy to have Mindi be a regular around My Repurposed Life!

Welcome Mindi! I love this idea, especially the little book rack and the washi tape accent. Your daughter's tastes will change and you can change the tape right with it! I could use a rack like this in my sewing room and I could store my project ideas on the rack. *Saw this on Roadkill Rescue.

Well now that is different, handy and really neat.

Love it! Any child would be thrilled to have the book shelf in their home. I couldn't help but think that it could also be used as a plate/platter and cup display shelf later when it out grew the story books!

That is so creative! I love how the books face out so their covers are easy to see. Also, that she can put up and change the artwork she wants to display. Very nice!

This shelf is so unique!
It would look great in a kitchen too.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that you were creating the dang thing in your kitchen of all places...inspires me to NOT wait til it's warm enough outside to be stuck inside hubby's freezing cold garage trying to make a project...who says you can't have a wood shop in your kitchen, right? AWESOME job!
