He loves it when I come home with crazy ideas. He also loves it when I post pictures of him on the internet without his shirt. But, hey, them's the breaks.
So, anyway, I LOVE our new rain gutter bookshelves. Less than $50 for supplies, less than 2 hours of work, and a whole wall of art that (as I assured Ben) will instill in the kids a love of reading for a lifetime.

Ooh, I love this idea! Do you do anything to the ends or just leave them? I wish we had room to recreate this in our house, it's too cute!
I'm so doing this it's not even funny. Nick says, "Susie's post helped a lot, but mostly Ben's picture helped." -beck
Abby, I used the vinyl gutters so the edges aren't sharp. They sell endcaps, but I'm not planning on spending the extra money unless I need to :)
ohhh I was going to buy a book shelf for Witten's room but this way more fun :)
Who says rain gutters can only be used for books? What you did was very creative, and it saves you from spending for a bookshelf. You just need to put a protector on the edges to keep them safe for the kids. Cheers!
Great information here on your site and blog. Wish I knew about the garden and home show
