Turned my front room in to a library with the billy book cases! Looks like it was built with the house. Such a cool / cheap project

Great video with great results! The lighting in the shelves really take the look to another level. More detail on how you fastened the book shelves in place would be helpful. Thanks for sharing this project, your friend is a lucky guy to have your help.

Thanks! The bookcases were secured at the top using the angle brackets included from IKEA. I also drove screws up through the base cabinet top to prevent it from shifting. Then everything was caulked on every mating surface, and that really holds it all together.

Thank for your great video! My question is, can you fill the shelf adjustment holes on the sides? If so, how do I do this? Also, what do you think about lighting along the bottom back of each shelf space and putting a little molding in front of it to hide the lighting ( uplighting instead of downlighting). Sometimes light facing up, can show objects d’arts really nicely. Thanks again.

I used uplighting here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNeVoq6lrt6ZY6M.html IKEA makes hole plugs for SEKTION cabinets, but not Billy. The most common solution is to fill the holes with spackle. They won’t be invisible but it’s much better.

Great idea! It would save so much work using the IKEA cabinets. Do you take a piece of the IKEA cabinets to have it color matched for paint so everything will look the same? There are so many variations of white that I know my eye would pick up on the parts that are built if the color is off a little from the cabinet color. I'm new to your channel but am really enjoying it and learning a lot so thank you!

White Dove by Benjamin Moore or Snowbound by Sherwin Williams. They match well.

Another excellent built-in. Great idea to just cope the crown, saved a lot of work and still looks custom. Did I spy a Harbor Freight tile saw? Mine might be my favorite HF purchase.

@handydadtv 6 ай бұрын

You are correct! Great value for that saw. I bought it to tile my bathroom in 2018: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bc1-e9am3NOWnmQ.html

I’m learning so much from your channel so thanks for sharing. Are you using Revit or AutoCad when modeling your work before installing everything? We use these programs at work and plan to use them at home eventually when taking on big projects

@handydadtv 6 ай бұрын

I have always used SketchUp but there are a lot of other options for 3D modeling these days.

I've got 60" of space and 2 of the Havsta cabinets would be 63". Is there any way to cut them down or do I need to go a completely different route?

@handydadtv 24 күн бұрын

If you’re talking about the width, you really can’t cut them because of the door.

@MsHaikim Ай бұрын

The Billy bookcase has width of 31 1/2 and the Havsta cabinet has width of 31 7/8. Did you have to do anything to make it look consistent or simply put the bookshelf on top of the cabinet?

@handydadtv Ай бұрын

The bookcases are right to the inside by the mantle. The Havsta’s top helps it look intentional.

@Jasonewa 2 ай бұрын

What Ikea cabients or bookcases do you recommend for a builtin around a fireplace?

@handydadtv 2 ай бұрын

Depends on the depth and look you want. Here are some more examples: Sektion (15” deep) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odRkdNmmnpyciYU.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odyWa6ydmruVfac.html Billy (12” deep) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNeVoq6lrt6ZY6M.html
