$10 shelves

We've been living in our house for more than a year now and we still have tons of photos to display.  In addition, I have cookbooks I am constantly having to dig out of the pantry, where they were kept.

I found these very easy plans for small shelves from Knock Off Furniture.  These are the famous $10 shelves.  Here they are in the family room:

It looks nice and tidy now.  These shelves were very easy to make.  The fronts were tacked on with my nail gun.
