I stopped by for coffee in a small Cafe and saw books nailed to the wall as a feature. I fell in love with the idea and wanted something similar in my home.
I picked up some old books from my local vinnies and got to work.
I first laid down a pattern on the floor to see how I would like it arranged and then used nails and a hammer to put the books.
Because I needed the books open at a fixed page, I used a hot glue gun and glued the top of the books so the pages don't move much.
That's all there is to the project. Can be easily done on a rainy weekend.
The most common question is how I clean it. I use the brush attachment on a vacuum on the lowest setting and that does the job. Linking a process video I made.
Hope you like it
