You have no idea how much this has made my day❤️I never used to be a reader and I’ve found that after having kids and the struggles we go through as moms on a daily basis can be so hard that we tend to put our needs and ourselves on the back burner. Which is why I started reading in the first place and found that it makes me happy, it fills my cup and it’s such a healthy hobby. I am my best self when I’m reading and it trickles into being the best wife and mom that I can be for my family. I am so glad that you’re rediscovering your love for reading. That feeling, finding your love again for reading is like no other and I’m so happy for you❤️ I hope you have an amazing reading year and I cant wait to hear your thoughts especially on the dark romance books😉

Thank you so much🥰I was lucky enough that my husband built this for me out of IKEA bookshelves and he also did the finishing touches to make it look like one entire custom built in library. To us it was way more affordable than actually getting heavier/better quality wood from an actual custom built shelve store.
@nikkit5542 Ай бұрын
@@monicafortner I had heard you say this in some of your videos and was shocked to hear that they were Ikea! They look like they were custom-built for the space. Your husband did an amazing job! They are absolutely gorgeous! I've been wanting my husband to do built-ins on a wall in my dining room and after showing him your library, he agreed that we should do Ikea for our space as well. No reason to spend all the extra time and money on custom built-ins when the same custom look can be achieved for so much less!
@monicafortner Ай бұрын
Yes oh my gosh I totally agree!! I’m so happy you’re doing that! Yup there’s no point in spending an arm and a leg on heavier better quality wood when all we’re putting on there are books or items that are not necessarily too heavy. To me it’s overkill and so expensive at the end of the day. Thank you! Just feeling lucky that he was able to do this❤️
