Magic Floaters

Lately I have been obsessed with adding some warmth to our otherwise 'crisp' look in the house.  I struggle at times because my beau and I have different ideas on what is interior decoration.. but I'm finding my way and am learning how to meet in the middle of our 'style crossroads'.
That being said, I have a few fun things to share with you that are slowly making our beautiful house a home.  First things first- I have alot of books.  This was a concern of mine moving in- they are usually not so much fun to store in a messy closet or bookshelf.. until now.
We found these in a magazine- I know they're pretty common these days but I never thought of actually buying them: Floating Bookshelves.   These little guys:
 
hide the screws and the shelf itself using the books!  With only two screws to put in, even the least handy-challenged folk (such as myself.. even though I'm not the one that put them up!) can handle them.  This is how ours turned out: 


  
  
Pretty snazzy eh?  We got 5 of the small ones and 5 of the larger ones.  And as chic as they make your walls look, they're very inexpensive!  I found the smaller ones on Amazon for $8.99 and the large ones for $12.99.  Maybe you would have better luck just Goog-ling them and finding a better price, but I am very happy with our magic-book-holders! 
What do you think?
