Pinterest has become a place where people can go to get ideas for all kinds of art projects. Now, a couple has found themselves going viral after they created a beautiful bookshelf from a photo on the site.

Jessica and Sinclair Breen have become viral sensations since showing off the incredible bookshelf that they made.

It all started when Jessica, a mother of two, came upon an image that took her breath away. As soon as she saw it, she knew that she and her builder husband had to try and make it.

“When I showed Sinclair he almost had a heart attack,” she said. “We knew we had to try it.”

The couple began by measuring their walls and passing the dimensions and image along to a graphic arts teacher at the school where Jessica works.

“He magically came up with the sizes of all the panels that we got cut from a manufacturer,” she said.

The couple spent around $640 to have an Australian company cut the panels for them.

The Breens used a fake MDF wall and laid out the boxes before drawing out their design.

They then mounted the MDF wall onto their real wall and started screwing the boxes into place.

In the end, the Breens finished the project in just sixteen hours!

“It was a huge project, but so worth it,” Jessica said. “My boys love the seating area and bookshelf. The books along the bottom of the bookcase are all theirs— so they’re quite happy to chill for a bit there, read and hang out.”

She also had some advice for anyone wanting to attempt a project like this one.

“All good things take time,” she said. “You need to make sure you take that time, refrain from rushing and don’t cut corners.”

“Google and Pinterest are really helpful!” she concluded.
