It’s cool to do something yourself, but this seems like it could have been just costly in terms of money & time to do. Could have had some really nice custom built ins.
Exactly. The shelves are getting thinner every 10 years. They are definitely not for books. 😂Unless someone has 10 books. ... The finish looks brilliant.

While typically, I would agree when you buy the pre-built bookcases, you have those grooves that you can adjust the bookshelves in with the pegs to whatever height you want which she could make herself would that be drilling at least 100 little holes and then buying me shelf holder separately
@@violetscreaming Unironically, not really. In my area the Billy bookcase is 70 dollars, which is about the cost of 2 sheets of the absolute shittiest particle board I can find for retail. And if you're going to use that, might as well buy the Billy. For nicer sheet goods, the Billy is cheaper. Not to mention the time that it would take to make the bookcases, if that matters to you. But I do think that paying extra for nicer quality materials and building it yourself would result in a nicer product.
@@MattMcConaha ahhh interesting to know. IKEA is quite expensive in Australia and I’m incredibly lucky to have a friend that works for a massive timber company so quite a lot of our wood falls off the back of a truck. Hadn’t really taken all of that into consideration
We're the billy bookcases even needed? You built the sides, the base, the top, reinforced the back, even put trim on the front of the shelves, and filled in the shelves adjustment holes? Looks like it created more work.
It makes it look more like a built in than shelving units pushed up against the wall. AND the original backs are almost cardboard😢!!! Looks great but I wonder about the cost difference between starting with IKEA and totally from scratch🤔!!!
Please don't start off a video w a shrieking soundbite in the future. It's kind of a hard transition as a listener scrolling youtube shorts for DIY/home design inspo.
Love it! Great job and definitely a shortcut in spite of what other people might claim that they would just start from scratch. No doubt Ikea kits make it a lot easier to put something together and just embellish it. Love it. Oh I guess I started with that. LOL
Some other people mentioned not to use the IKEA but to start from scratch. I've never been to an IKEA, so I'm wondering about the cost difference. The end result looks Great❤!!!
This is really cool- only problem is the shelves start bowing after a while. You can replace them for $15 but it looks like it would be hard to do that with these
@PeonyandHoney Ain't NUTHIN' goin' anywhere on this build! Beautiful! So elegant and practical. Are you big readers, art collectors? Are you leaving the ladder "natural," or staining/painting it?
She said she has the complete video on her channel, a step by step tutorial❤ I haven't yet, but I'm going to watch it! I'm wondering if she covers the cost (I've never been to an IKEA). I know her wood might cost different than mine, but the IKEA cost should be the same...
Is the base just for looks or would they not be able to just sit on the floor? Also, was the support in between each of the book cases for looks or is there a structural issue with them just being side by side? Thank you. Very pretty ❤
Looked very nice however, you may want to move the rod to the top of the bookshelf unless you don't plan on using the top row. Or only putting things that fit under the rod.

After all that custom building I can’t see the point of using an Ikea chipboard bookcase

If i could get to this far i would just build the billy bookshelf myself with real wood
True and its much cheaper than buying billy bookcase
This!
I'm sitting here thinking like, you know how to build a wall, a base, a back and for some reason the shelves are just a step too far??? 🤔
@@christinadejesus My thoughts exactly!

With all the building you did, why not just whack a few bookshelves together yourself? Surely it’s cheaper than ikea?
Exactly
Nothing is cheeper than Billy.
@@milenam756 so you can’t get a few sheets of msg and some screws cheaper?

Getting a dad that helps = priceless ❤
Your dad is precious 💖
Oh my goodness! You all did an amazing job 👏🏾 It looks so elegant and regal.
Aww thank you
Ohhhh I am JELLY!!! Beautiful, just stunning!!! Great job

I didn't really get why they felt that they needed to use different backings. It's all up against the wall.

Great Dad and great friend 🙂
They turned out amazing!!!
That’s the best transformation I’ve seen using this bookshelf. Great job. I love this
Love this idea I like glass doors on it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It looks amazing. My dream is to have a bookcase like that, a wingback chair and one of those green lamps.

You are right 👍
I agree 100 %. Horrible
I hated that

I think it's STUNNING!! Just beautiful. I'd love to have that done in my house. Unfortunately, I'm not as handy as you are. Maybe one day😉

Dad is a great vanna white👍👍🙋🏽♀️. Great job, I love it😉😉🙋🏽♀️
Lmao OK let me get my dad to build a whole wall to fit billy bookcases
He definitely helped but i could do this alone - just would’ve taken me way longer
@@PeonyandHoney missed the point, which is you built a wall to add a cheap shelving unit. Lipstick on a Pig.
@@mark_a_vigilnegative much? I think it looks great.
@@mcbailey7446 hope, honest!
@@mcbailey7446 Looks great. But how will the cheap materials hold up over time?
Love the ladder & the molding at top I think called "dental".
Dentil. 🐼
Wow! Incredible transformation. I love the look and the color. Gorgeous! ❤
That is absolutely gorgeous!❤
You guys did a amazing job with this project. 🎉
Clearly, you guys make an excellent team 🙌🏾
Wow wow wow… love it!

Not the way we have them installed - each shelf has been reinforced with 2x4’s - they’re not going anywhere hehe
@@PeonyandHoney Y’all thought of everything and wow this looks like a $15,000 - $20,000 job!!!
I’m going to definitely watch the video!!!
👏👏👏👏

Honestly, this looks really beautiful and props to y'all for the creativity! But for me, I'd just leave the bookshelves just the way they are.
Great job!!
This turned out really good. What colour is that? I mean the exact shade 😊
It’s called Railings by Farrow and Ball
@@PeonyandHoney thank you 😊
Stunning! If only my husband and I were handy 😂

Very cool, but so much upgrading, I am curious how much did “ikea” bookcase cost total minus ladder?
Beauty and the beast dream unlocked! ❤
Fantastic transformation! ❤
Thanks hun

What I think is it’s a lot of work and extra money! But you saved quite a bit.
Looks great. It seems you added an additional shelf on top. Where did you get it?
