Together, A Father and Son Made The Craziest Bookshelves You’ve Ever Seen

Your home is an expression of who you are, which is why most people personalize their living space with art and decor they love. Sure, you could take a trip to the furniture store and buy something you like…or you could make something yourself.

A DIY-savvy father and son duo took this idea to a whole new level and created the coolest set of bookshelves I’ve ever seen. Using only blonde wood, available at most hardware stores, they designed swirling, twisted bookshelves for their living room. Check out the photos below.

The finished product looks amazing.
