Unique DIY Book Storage Solutions

One of the biggest challenges when you have a passion for reading is your ever-growing collection of books, and finding a place to put them. While it's easy to go to the store and buy a plain bookshelf, sometimes it's fun to have something a little bit more unique as book storage. You can start a DIY project and create (or makeover) a bookshelf for your home library. I have found interesting unique DIY book storage ideas to share with you today. Hopefully you will find one that will be just what you are looking for.

Our home library grows quite often, which means we generally need to buy a new bookshelf. I get tired of the dark, rectangle bookshelves and wish that our books were displayed in a more eye-pleasing way. I searched the internet for unique ways you can design and build book storage. There are thousands of ideas out there, but I narrowed the list down to some of my favorites.
