15+ Unordinary Bookshelf Design Ideas That Trending Now

I recently created a unique bookshelf using two ladders and some old hardback books. The ladders were left overs from when two of my sons had loft style bunkbeds, and the books had accumulated over the years.

For many years, I used the old ladders as quilt and afghan display racks in my living room. I simply leaned the ladders against the wall, then draped hand made blankets over some of the steps, or rungs.

When looking through my books one day though, I realized I had many old hard backs which were beautiful. And I somehow got the idea to combine those extra books with the old ladders, and create my very own book shelf.

The first step was to make sure I had enough extra books for the project. So I gathered all the old ones I didn’t want anymore, and removed any paper covers that were still in place.
