Eco Friendly Living | Tree Bookshelf

Wouldn’t this fantastic tree bookshelf be the perfect bedroom or living room accessory? I love the bright-green pieces that make your books and other loved objects seem as though they are birds perched on a branch. The tree bookshelf is made using recyclable metal. I love that it is made completely by hand too.

Would you use this type of shelving in your home?
