I have been wanting to put in some front facing bookshelves. I used to have rain gutters as bookshelves, but my husband did not want me doing that again. lol
So I got this idea!
I just bought some baskets from Dollar Tree and some cushion pads.
I originally tried to use velcro strips but they weren't strong enough to hold very many books so I ended up using screws, however, someone told me about Monkey Hooks, so I would use those instead!
What do you think? These take up no space besides a little wall space. Is this something you would consider? What other ideas do you have for front facing books?

What a great, frugal idea!
This is awesome! I just have pull-up boxes on the floor.
Love this idea! Are the Monkey Hooks really strong?
I didn't know about monkey hooks when I did this. I wish I had. I just used screws.
This is an interesting idea. I've never done this.
P.S. for some reason this is only letting me conmment with my old blog account. Now it is racheleasleygoing.com I'm so sorry.
Such a great idea! I wouldn't have thought the baskets would be strong enough. I'm glad you shared how you reinforced them.
Great idea!
Interesting idea...I have seen people using the shelving from IKEA as well for book display shelves. We have several bookshelves throughout the house - with our books and our kids books.
I love DIY projects that can be accomplished without a ton of money!
This I'd a great idea!
I've never heard of monkey hooks. I need to look them up!
