IKEA HACK: DIY Billy Bookcase Built-In Library Wall

Рет қаралды 793,744

Күн бұрын

Today is the tutorial for my biggest IKEA hack ever: building my own library wall using IKEA Billy Bookcases! I was inspired by @themakerista on Instagram's gorgeous library wall. This project was so big, I had to call in reinforcements: my amazing handy dad whom you've seen in some of my other videos and my talented DIY content creator friend Krystle from ‪@PerkinsOnParkway‬ flew all the way out to Ohio from Dallas, TX to help me complete this project. It was our first time meeting in person, and I just absolutely adore her! Make sure you subscribe to her channel! Don't forget to subscribe to my channel as well and follow me on my other platforms!

This is absolutely gorgeous! 💝 I think it was smart to incorporate the Billy bookshelves and further customize it. This looks like a library you see in manors and rich grand-daddy caves. I’ve been eyeing the Billy bookcases to customize, and now you’ve inspired me. It’s so awesome seeing women build affordable, yet expensive looking custom DIY projects. Good work!

This is a stunning Billy Bookcase hack! The crown molding and library ladder add to the charm and sophistication of the project. You and the "crew" really out did yourselves. Thanks for detailing it for all of us would be Billy Bookcase hackers!

Wow I’m so glad I discovered your channel. I have a huge library room in my house with four Billy book cases as well as 8 Kallax record shelf’s that I’ve been going crazy to figure out building a base so it’s not just on the floor. This has me understanding how to strengthen and get both of them up higher. Thanks so much y’all rock.I’m talking about expanding because I also need shelves for close to 1000 dvds, 1500 records and now even one more Billy totaling 5.

Tip, when you put your backing board on, set it on reversed first, then mark your shelf, then flip it, and you've got a good guide to put your nails in.
