@@Lexii_Billie_Stan I agree 👍

@@CynthiaWooley OMG MY BROTHER HOW ARE YOU

@@Lexii_Billie_Stan Awesome how are you doing 😎👍

I have motivation! Just need library now

Amazing idea!! ❤

How do you know? You have no idea what each book is about?? Or what order they’re even in?? For your Information, i have a bookcase that’s color coded just like this one… and they’re all organized perfectly and in alphabetical order and I just use color sleeves to make them look like matched color section’s😤😑🤨 Next time ask first before assuming, ya might learn something! 😒

@@sleepingxbootyno I’m gonna assume you have mental issues if you arrange books by color or create sleeves to cover the authors book for your TikTok appeal. Have a library with ladder and books are by author / series. Like a sane person.

@@sleepingxbootyoh for fuck sake grow a backbone and stop getting offended at everything, must be exhausting for anyone to be befallen by your presence.

Some people with Synesthesia remember books they bought by the color of the cover.

I've seen them done in smaller spaces

As long as it has vaulted ceilings

Oh this nonsense is a thing now that people are obsessed with these ridiculous celebrity organizers called “the home edit” they blew up on Netflix and with a book and they organize everything by color coding it’s literally the dumbest way to organize bookshelves if you actually read!

Are those even real books or just shelf fillers ?

Nah my girlfriend is a book girl and she does this. She knows exactly where all the authors are too

@@ayannahendricks6266 I have a 1,000+ book home library and organize by colour. We've had it that way for 5 years, and still love it. Makes re-shelving very easy, and has an amazing aesthetic impact.

I know exactly what colour my books are, and I read. Bizarre that people even care

oh that's annoying. They're in stock at my local Ikea

It depends on the books and their publisher. Some books you can get at 300 to 400 INR, some might can take 500 to 1000 INR. Hardcovers are more costly , ABOVE 1k

We extended the outlet so it's still usable! It's easy to plug in the vacuum or charge something

people who like it

This whole project cost $2700 in materials. Plywood is very expensive right now. I don't think the Billy is as crappy as you think it is. But I'll keep you posted!

Didn't mean to be derogatory of the build at all. Billy is amazing value for what you get and you have made a good bespoke unit out of standardised parts which is frugal. But chipboard shelving never lasts as it has very little strength under any load. Yes ply is expensive but you can always swap over in the future when the shelves start looking the worse for wear. That's the beauty of the adjustable systems 👍🏼

Is that a lot to you for this big of a bookcase?

@@AtHomewithAshley yea I think it is but now that I’m thinking about it, did the equipment for the ladder cost a lot ? It’s really nice so maybe that was a large chunk of it ?

@@DarkWingDuck703 The price for all the Billy bookcases for this project is $650. Ordering the library ladder came to $875 with shipping. For building the frame, the wood, screws, and electrical parts came to $380. For the finish work, the trim, paint, and caulk came to $260. Total price- $2,165

@@AtHomewithAshley nice break down ! Thank you :)

The supplies cost $2200 😉

Everyone's brain works differently. Some visual or neuro-divergent people can remember where books are better by spine color. Honestly, it's a little closed minded to say that because someone organizes an item differently than you'd like that it disqualifies it.

@@jackalterman did you see my reply to the original poster? So your mind probably works best to have the books in alphabetical order by the title or author. Or maybe subjects are all together. That’s fine. But my mind works so that I can remember the color of the spine and then I find the book. I also have an app that I’ve cataloged each book into. So if I’m searching for something, I can also search the app. Just because your system (and brain) is different than mine, doesn’t mean I’m not a real reader. Do you see how that could feel hurtful or discriminatory to someone? There’s room for both of us to enjoy our books as we want without discounting someone and calling them “not a real reader.” It’s ok to expand your beliefs on this subject, I give you permission

It might be the only acceptable order for you because that's how your brain thinks. My brain works better with the color order so I won't be "fixing it." You should know your comment makes you sounds a little narrow minded, FYI

@@AtHomewithAshley honestly dont care...how are you supposed to find a specific book...its ridiculous to think oh let me reread xyz but wait what color is it instead of being able to go two second glance pull out the exact on you looking for cause its in order.....beautiful shelves though if i had the ceilings for it id do the same thing

or some people genuinely like to read...hope that helps!

What flag?

I have a slow version too ❤

that hard to grasp that some people just love reading ? :)

Because it’s take more time and cost more money

@@AtHomewithAshley Definitely far, far cheaper if you’re painting. I’d find it much quicker to build personally. And I wouldn’t have to deal with all those silly little holes and shelves that are going to sag in a few years.

How so ?

is it that hard to believe that over the years you read a lot of books and then just sort them by colors ?? :) cause what you're saying doesn't make sense

I totally understand that you hate the rainbow organization. And I respect that. However, I do want to point out that not all brains think alike. Some people, like me, are visual and remember the color of the spine. I read everyday and find the organization practical for me. I also have an app that lists every book I have and the color of the app. That way if I want to find a book, I can easily search it. I just think there's more than one "right" way to organize things. And each person should do what works best for them.

To build it for you? Or you can hire a contractor. Or if you can use a miter saw and a drill you can do it yourself
