Cloud Shelves

by

P1050712 cover

We are in the process of decorating our eldest son’s bedroom, which will also be our youngest’s bedroom in a year or so’s time.  It’s a long process, mainly as it’s so hard to find time to do it!  However, we have managed to paint two of the walls and add these cloud shelves that I really wanted to put in.

The idea came from this Ikea lightshade that we fitted when we moved into the house 2 years ago.  I really wanted to incorporate clouds on the wall and after seeing something similar on Pinterest (where else?!) I decide to make our own cloud shelves.

They are very simple, we attached (actually my dad attached them!) two Ikea RIBBA picture ledges to the wall and then I painted the white cloud design around them.  Very easy, but look quite effective.

Now we just have the rest of the room to complete!

    Thank you! It’s an easy and satisfying project, I love the look and you can always add a sun peeking out from behind the clouds for added colour. 🙂 x

    I love these! I wonder how big I could make them to fit all the tons of books my girls have in their room?!

    Ha ha, you could get the long picture ledge and make a giant cloud or just have lots of small clouds for all the books! 🙂 x
