I made this book shelf with a reading nook for my daughters nursery. I found one you can buy online for $250 and decided I could make it for much less. I used 1 x12’s and the cushions were made by my mother and grandmother. All together it cost about $65 to make.

This is adorable! I love the entire room!
We've had a couple of people ask for plans. If there aren't any available, would you be willing to let us draw some plans up from your photos? Thanks! Ana

Absolutely! Sorry I didn’t have plans to post. It was an off the cusp kind of build and I just figured it out as I went along.

Thank you you are too kind!
Thank you you are too kind! Do you happen to have your cut list? Or just rough dimensions?

I don’t have my cut list
I don’t have my cut list anymore but rough dimensions are as follows;
height - 23.5”
width 44.5
depth- 12”
I tried accounting for the width of the wood in order to make each square on the bottom 10x10 and the 2 middle shelves to be 12 inches high and the bottom on the middle shelves to be 10” wide. I wanted to have at least 20” for the seat while also having 2 wide enough shelves at the top to be able to put things. Sorry but I don’t have the angles of the 2 side walls for the sitting area. I know that’s a pretty rough explanation but with the things I’ve seen you make I’m sure you can make do!

I don’t have my cut list
I don’t have my cut list anymore but rough dimensions are as follows;
Height - 23.5”
width 43.75”
Depth - 12”
I tried making dimensions to account for each box on the lower level to be 10x10 and the boxes in the middle to be 12” high and 10 inches wide. I wanted the seat to be at least 20” but I miss calculated the angle cut length and my seat is less then 20”. I can’t remeber the angle I used for the walls (sorry!) but I wanted to make sure that the top shelf was wide enough to put stuff on it. I know this is a rough explanation but based on the incredible stuff you make I’m sure you can work it out and make some pretty awesome plans!
