Guidelines to build your own furniture Bookshelves
Part 1
It can be that your student loan allows you to create a refurnishing budget to modify or customize the furniture that your friends and family have been able to hand you down. One of the most important things is to pause a moment and determine if you will be requiring any specific furniture that you might not have such as a bookshelf or a computer desk.
Of course, if your student loan budget allows you to, you can seek to buy these very much needed furniture, but it can also be that despite you are almost desperate to have them, your student loan budget does not allow you to actually purchase the finished furniture not even from a second hand store or a garage sale.
Still, there are things to do and ways to incorporate a very simple and cheap do-it-yourself furniture into an elaborate and refurnished atmosphere, the trick will be in the color palette that you are using and the overall design of your house, apartment, or room where the specific furniture will be placed.
• Bookshelves
There are many ways to create your own bookshelves.
o B&B
Boards and bricks are the most commonly used materials to construct and create your own bookshelves; the method is quite simple at it requires almost no building abilities or skills. All you do is pile up bricks to either side of the board and keep on building it as if you were doing a sandwich.
Of course, the brick colors and the board colors will stand up in any type of decoration, to blend them in you can use either Paper Mache or plaster. In this manner you can cover the bricks providing a paint receptive surface that will, in turn, allow you to blend the boards in and change the blending by simply scraping off the Mache Paper or the plaster.
The boards will be blended in simply by painting them according to the already selected palette.
o Wall mounted shelves
If you are not able to buy the bricks to create your own brick and board bookshelf, then you could prefer to use wall-mounted shelves; it is likely that someone in your group of friends or relatives is able to lend you a drill and some screws.
Wall mounted shelves are easy to install; however, you will need to make sure that they are actually horizontal.
