Okay…. Here’s a sweet little moby hack! I really really needed a bookshelf for a few favorite books…. and I also wanted a place to set my phone and glasses, maybe a glass of water, whatever…. normally one would set on a night stand.

Well, the way my room works, I just don’t have space for a nightstand next to the bed.

And my stack of books on a table in the room was really getting out of control….

I thought about buying a shelf, but then where would I put it, things are a little cramped in my small hut…. and then it hit me…. How about a little shelf on the back of my headboard! It was almost wide enough anyway and I often would precariously balance a book up there, but it was just a little shy of being wide enough.

So I bought a nice pine board and had Tim attach it to the top….

And then I stained it….

HAHAHA….. never in my life have I ever got to lay in bed and paint! Well, I didn’t want to not stain the little underneath part. I would have forever laid there and looked at that and thought, swell…. I forgot that part.

Doesn’t that look brilliant? (I’ve got more books just had to round them all up and such….) I just couldn’t wait… had to snap a picture of it, it’s so cute. AND functional!

Now, hopefully I won’t get a rude awakening from a kitty pushed book…. I just might…. we’ll see how well my “hack” worked but I think it will do just nicely!
