beccaandthebirds asked: Hello! I was just wondering if you have a link to where that weaving-loom bookshelf thing is from (or is it homemade? I can't tell). I'm seriously lusting over it haha, thanks :-)

Hello, 

It is gorgeous, isn’t it? :) Here’s a link to the story about it, from PSFK: http://www.psfk.com/2013/04/bookshelf-loom.html. The shelf was actually specially commissioned by the British Council, and made by the UK design group Raw Edges (http://www.raw-edges.com/). 

Hope this helps!
