I juct picked one of these invisible shelves from a local shop around the corner. It's called the Conceal Book Shelf by Umbra. It's a very simple metal shelf that supports a hardcover book with the back cover slips into a a small clip that holds it in place. Once you have that, you simply stack other books on top, until you can't see the metal part anymore and voila! it looks like tha books are floating on your wall. I originally bought it for my sister, but thinking about the amount of boardbooks Peanut has, which comes in all sort of irregular sizes and colour, this might be a fabulous idea to put into the nursery. Stacks of colourful books on the wall, which has no edges to babyproof, and it's also more difficult to climb onto than regular shelves (no visible, hence tempting planks). A dream for a toddler's nursery. Children would love the magical feeling of having floating books in the room.
It comes in two sizes, 5.25 x x 5.5" (13 x 13 x 14 cm), which costs €15 and 5.5 x 7 x 6.5" (14 x 18 x 17 cm), which costs €20. Might seems to be costly for a piece which goes invisible, but hey, it's the great idea that counts!
