DIY Flowing Waterfalls Moss Book Nook (Living Library)

[@SerpaDesign]

What do you think of my living library? I personally think it's a pretty cool project that was fairly easy to make. I hope you all enjoyed the video and a great weekend SerpaSquad!

[@hoatzin5787]

Just thanks for what you do ! You are very inspiring !!

[@dylandeheij7911]

Its beautiful

[@c26084]

Could you design something that would effectively raise the humidity in the apartment and be aesthetically pleasing at the same time?

[@chrisreilly1290]

Great idea! Just hope no splashes get on any books

[@Junkpusher77]

You’ve inspired me to try this myself. Amazing work and results. Thank you ☺️

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

" Fairyl easy to make" he says 😅No, you make it look easy, that is not the same. You sir are an artist! This is beautiful!

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

@@chrislanza9420 awesome, might try it soon

[@Moriighan]

I got the same though 😂 I was like wait, easy you say? 😦 no way...

[@lordgarion514]

Well, making it, and making it look good is two different things.🤪

[@Josh_Stuchbery]

Just jump in and have a go. You'll be amazed at what you can do, and so will other people.

[@hagework117]

Do remember that serpadesign did go to art school and understands proportions in a way that we mere mortals cannot understand

[@cypherdras]

looks amazing but my only warning to others would be that this would boost the humidity on your book shelf a lot, this could lead to mold growing on your books so maybe put plastic covered ones near it.

[@_.-._.-.]

As long as your books are decent quality and the room is ventilated I don't think mold would be a problem; I'd expect more just warping of the book pages which most people don't care about

[@willythepeachfacelovebird]

@@_.-._.-. Nah. Mould will likely grow regardless.

[@jsedge2473]

​@@_.-._.-. I'd imagine anyone with a bookshelf cares about their books being warped and destroyed or else they wouldn't have a bookshelf lmao. And I also disagree in that I think mold would definitely grow... You're putting water and live plants 2 centimeters away from books with no real barrier - how will mold not grow? It's beautiful of course, but I don't see how it's practical. Although Tanner is an expert at what he does so I'm sure he thought it through and maybe I am wrong.

[@haifutter4166]

@@jsedge2473 I had an aquarium, so I'm sure tiny water droplets will definitely land on the nearby books, so I wouldn't put a book directly next to it, that isn't plastic wrapped. Another risk are leaks, although less likely...

[@theoldmanandthesea6380]

Maybe some fake books near it by Burroughs, Melville or Nordhoff would stand up to the humidity.

[@khills]

That’s really stunning, Tanner. It’s a nice continuation of the “secret passage” book nooks that were popular a few years ago.

[@sarahwatts7152]

It's pretty different when all the plants are real in these things :D

[@RichardHaywardMelbourne]

Hey there Tanner! After watching your videos I jumped right in and made my first terrarium using garden weeds, a pierced plastic layer to create a false bottom. Today I made my second one and this time I purchased a very cheap Syngonium Pixie which looks stunning. I created a rock feature and added some dry leaves. It all looks great.

[@mynameisnotcory]

Make a video!

[@808_Freedom]

@@mynameisnotcory why???

[@mynameisnotcory]

@@808_Freedom cuz its cool to see how these channels inspire people

[@sashagh998]

Can i see it?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Waterfall scapes are way better than magazine holders. Just brilliant!

[@mattsquaaaared]

Oh boy here we go again. My weekly dose of "I can build any design I can imagine very easily" power boost lol. Amazing work Tanner!

[@JojobaNutOil]

This is easily one of the most interesting book nooks for me. It incorporates all things I love. Nature art books.. so lovely!

[@jcdla64]

I love seeing Walstad's book right next to it, "Ecology of the planted aquarium" changed my life.

[@howmygardengrows3080]

Plants and books. The best of both worlds. I absolutely love this one! Probably in my top 10, despite the big complicated ones you've done.

[@LoverJ]

The best part of my weekend is your videos 🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️

[@ellnine66]

It's a good thing I didn't discover your channel back when I worked at the aquarium store. I'd be broke and covered in plants. 🤣🤣🤣. Your designs are really stunning, creative and inspiring. Thank you so much!!

[@iregongon]

I'm obssesed about the cute little Ikea sprayer turned acuasphere at 10:18😂😍

[@nightwing36s]

This is really cool! I'd be interested in seeing how the flora evolves over the next few months, seeing how well everything grows

[@marionweaver9463]

You are amazing. You create such beautiful environments for the smallest spaces. What a gift you have. Thank you.

[@carlterwedow5000]

I love how the driftwood overlaps the waterfall in a few areas. It gives the piece a lot of depth, and almost makes it look like it goes past the bookshelf. Kinda mysterious and soothing at the same time, the perfect piece for a bookshelf

[@stacismith598]

I like the way you explain each step of the process! The way you narrate your videos makes me believe that one day I can try this too!

[@amandajoanbaker]

The carved, painted foam is a work of art, very realistic!

[@ewavril735]

It's cute and calming I think it's amazing

[@xfatalxflawx]

This might be one of my favorite builds of anything you've done recently. A small slice of nature resting on a bookshelf is such a magical concept. Love it

[@torisharba6378]

This is the most INCREDIBLE rock wall that you have done!! So realistic and absolutely stunning😍😍

[@Anonymus-mt3dw]

It’s art and I love it. Just how passionate you are with the little details. The background looks super dope and I love the way you painted it. Amazing.

[@arkea8338]

wasn't expecting that but it turned awesome

[@lauraadler6853]

Every time I see the moss I fall in love with it all over again!!! I want to have something like this so bad!!!!

[@theomumacaw]

Tanner I think we need a moss dedicated piece of merch! Maybe like a shirt of a mug or something! That would be so cool!!

[@Michael-yf1wo]

Wow! Tanner you have a rare talent to think outside the box and create awesome projects. Inspiring and well done!

[@aryasaquascaping3229]

I think it's totally awesome it's like a nature inside a shelf of books

[@vini_renee]

Wow! My new favorite smaller piece you’ve made. Incredible!

[@CampesinamenteRd]

Serpa I love how you said easy to make lol easy for you 🙌🙌🙌 I never finish getting amazed by your design. Thank u for all your knowledge

[@justanotherghost]

I really liked seeing your sketching process to come up with the idea!

[@sharongould2689]

OH. MY. GAWD! I love this! Such an amazing feature!

[@RamKumar-sk9yq]

Very good job. Fantastic imagination and skill work, keep up the superb work

[@burtrandicus9076]

This looks so good

[@papamuda5961]

This project blow my mind..unique and an eye-candy view

[@Joao-Coelho.]

Amazing!!! Nothing more to say...

[@lcaquatics3446]

That is such a sick design. It really adds so much "texture" to the books👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@janinebean4276]

This is awesome! Plants AND books, amazing!

[@ArtinKavousi]

it's so beautiful as always ! so happy to be part of your journey and see your creations years after years and enjoy them along side!

[@look4keith]

You are my new Bob Ross. I'm not sure I'll ever create anything you can create, but I love watching your videos.

[@cristiaolson7327]

How awesome! I'm both a plant nerd and a book nerd, and this build really brings both of those loves into one project.

[@BusinessButlers]

Totally wonderful. Thank you Tanner.

[@brandoncraig4668]

That rock carving was amazing, so detailed and natural. It's been inspiring to see you push your envelopes over the years. Your such a better artist and even craftsman than you were years ago.

[@johnsonjay60]

Fairly easy for you to make look easy 😆 you are so talented!! You and you're channel is a blessing to us all. Ty very much!!

[@felixmakesart]

That rock carving you did is simply incredible. The amount of realism you achieved was immense, and can only come from your vast experience working with real rocks in your various setups. That expertise is very apparent in your rock carving! And that paint job is also top-notch.

[@odintillgren3212]

Been watching a lot of your videos because I have a paludarium aquaponic planter project I want to build. This foam carving is exactly the idea I needed to make my project work. Thank you, Serpa

[@yurionabike99]

An expert at his craft makes it look easy

[@majormajormajor]

Literally add life to a bookshelf

[@AlphaLucky]

I love that you took the idea of a book nook and used it in a way i never would have thought of, great idea and video!

[@vanc.8178]

As always, I'm amazed of your creations.

[@youngdalai]

this is your coolest idea for a terrarium yet

[@andrescolintv]

Unbelievable art wow

[@warpo007]

I envision so many wet books, for us mere mortals who attempt this one Tanner! inspirational!

[@lakshmirajagopal382]

Creative, smart, visually stunning, and a live beauty to boot!!!! Inspired. Thank you for sharing.

[@Honkey-Donkey]

This is the coolest book nook I've seen.

[@sydneynicole8947]

you never disappoint Tanner. Absolutely incredible. You are a genius and genuinely never fail to amaze me.

[@nathanbennett3924]

Thank you for sharing your sketching! I really liked seeing your vision and how you make it come alive!

[@beyondbecca5407]

I love it!

[@aquaticma]

I love it!! It's like a little hidden world in the bookshelf!

[@shadowscythes]

I usually like the more natural feel that comes when actual rocks are used for a hardscape, but carving foam to make it look like rock is an interesting technique and made sense for this build since it's lightweight. I was impressed by how much like a cliff it ended up looking, you have a lot of artistic skill : D

[@kieramoore6501]

I love this!! A great combination for book lovers and aquascape fanatics alike 👍

[@dbbrbc]

Wow!!!! That is amazing!!!! I love it!

[@Ana-dx7wk]

Man, your imagination is wild. You always bring something new to the table! Keep it up!

[@cheeseballs3825]

Artist/artiste, a winning combination!

[@The_Schuhs]

I never cease to be amazed by your content!!

[@bludeetu321]

So cool! Really like this one. Looks like you shrank a bit of forest and tucked into the home library. Awesome.

[@finnwiggles28]

Wow. Pretty crazy. Love how you can create these tiny living dioramas and incorporate them to liven up any otherwise unremarkable spot.

[@wheelchair_charlie]

Forget bookworms, how about book waterfalls! Brilliant creation Tanner! Looks awesome.

[@JAFKARNAT]

Stunning project well done. More like this please.

[@neilclarkwork]

This is one of your best designs of late. Really impressive.

i love that is so compact yet it displays a lot brilliant work!

[@Two-bananas-for-kevin_larrie]

Tanner: I'll make a really rough sketch... Also Tanner: makes a MASTERPIECE in like two minutes 👏

[@perryrhodan3740]

Stunning, how you turn a block of foam into a lifelike rock face. Great work!

[@alexanderrheuark8559]

That is brilliant. I love the idea of including little bits of nature into a bookshelf.

[@ТетянаІгнатенко-е5с]

Incredible job!!

[@ghost-fs7th]

I appreciate your merch actually having interesting designs So many people think just a name or a logo is going to cut it, but your merch is actually stylish and cool. I think I'll have to buy a shirt soon!

[@aquariumengineer]

This is one of your best tiny builds! Love it

[@xchrysantha]

YOU'RE A GENIUS. Ohmygosh I absolutely love this idea of using the acrylic magazine holder for a waterfall, like that's just so creative. And I'm excited about it because I want to replicate it now lol. Thank you so much for the idea!

[@rachelmarcotte3589]

It's lovely, I may need one of my own. My nine year old is in love with it as well. Thanks for always being an inspiration for beautiful indoor nature spaces. ❤️

[@tracybowling1156]

Wow! This has to be one of my all-time favs! Excellent! I love reading and books that you can hold on your hands so this is definitely my style. ☺️

[@starshiiinebby]

Omggg!!! I’ve been trying to figure out how to do something like this with a fantasy/fairy spin but all I had was an idea and no real know how on how to get it done - but now I do!!! Thank you so much, this is amazing!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@gabeyeah297]

this is one of my favorite builds in a while it’s such a small cool piece for a bookshelf

[@khaze7696]

It’s positively magical

[@greatPretender79]

I love it!! Then again I love anything with running water

[@RealNecessary]

I LOVEEEE how you put it on a bookshelf!

[@averilt]

I feel like if there was a live edge to the top of the "rocks" it would look even better, but overall I think it looks great and is such a fun surprise for anyone perusing your library =)

[@nicholasmoudouros4776]

Simply amazing! What a piece of art! Well done 👍

[@reeda5390]

Such a great idea, I love it!

[@Evelin185]

Bros voice is artistic and his art is angelic and he looks sooo beutiful man u rly are perfect

[@ShellyCline]

Tanner, this project absolutely knocked my socks off!! From beginning to end. The fact that this is such an unusual and creative concept for starters. Then everything else. The carving of the foam looked phenomenal. The thought and attention to every possible detail, right down to the blacking out of the sides for maximum viewing effect. I love the little portable light too. And of course as always, the selection of plants and their artistic arranging. This project is so unique I'm gonna be sharing this video with family and friends. Kudos to an amazing video.

[@alexanderballance2996]

Great idea! I always love your moss walls. Fun and relaxing build video as always!

[@rahulrajkunar]
