Today I'm going to show you how to turn an inexpensive thrift store magazine rack into an adorable bookshelf for a kids bedroom. If your child is just starting to really enjoy reading, the only problem is that he/she likes to read the same books over and over again...we need to prepare a bookshelf so that he/she can quickly find his/her favorite books!~

Materials and tools: masking tape, gold spray paint, black paint, magazine rack.
