Instead, aiming for a built-in bookcase look on a budget, she used these Billys with melamine caps in between and molding on top to give the IKEA favorite a custom look. Our optimized corner shelf offers a space-saving solution with its 7-tier tall design, maximizing corner space in your home office. They were fixed with firm anchoring with steel crimped bolt threads into plaster board with 1/2 bolt threads. If you're not sure what to place beside your fireplace mantel, built-ins (or a Billy bookcase built-in hack) might be the answer.
I would love to see how the plywood and caulk sit in those corners as I have a similar project coming up in my office.Eventually, these Billys will be officially hacked, Rasa T-Brasiene says, but for now, the natural wood coordinates perfectly with the rest of her décor and allows the white ceramics that she showcases to pop. The extra pieces that are given to build on top of Billy didn't fit the room that it was being created in (not Ikea's problem), however it would have been useful for these to be additionally bought, rather that wastage - I didn't notice this option if it does exist.
Two doors, both used frequently, bookend the space, so she couldn’t have anything too deep, but the tall ceilings begged to be utilized. BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote">
BILLYs can be used for bookshelves if used cautiously. The Billy bookcases are the perfect depth for this space and two together side by side fit just right into the space,” Young says.I’m the type of person who thrives on a deadline (aka a procrastinator) so having a specific date to reveal the results was very motivating. Delivered when advised, easily put together (by me a 70 yr old woman) and erected, its sturdy, clean and ‘does what it says on the box’! IKEA requires all suppliers to source wood from more sustainable sources (FSC-certified or recycled wood).
Driving innovation to use wood in smarter ways by designing all products from the very beginning to be reused, refurbished, remanufactured, and eventually recycled. I’m imagining they will take a lot of weight so I want to make sure what I get would be sufficient if I attempt this. Once that was done, we just squeezed between each shelf and anchored them to the wall, making sure we kept the required spacing between them. Wallpapering the back of your bookshelves is an excellent way to add more personality to a space on the cheap. After six weeks of planning, building, trimming, painting, sourcing… and lots of overthinking every single decision, I’m so excited to reveal the ultimate Billy bookcase hack!I thought that lamp was up high enough but my 2 year old managed to knock it to the ground and shatter it (gasp). The ones linked look like the ones for the top and bottom shelf but not the ones used get the middle shelves to support each other. Then, she cut long skinny dowels to the height of the lower glass panels of the Oxberg doors, painted them, then glued them onto the glass with Loctite clear instant grab glue.
If you join two normal BILLY bookcases in a corner you lose a lot of space in the corner which never more can be cleaned up. I promise it isn’t that hard, just a little time consuming to get through all the steps, but definitely worth it.BR>
iobe: you, sir, are a truly evil man
Edit:
quote:IKEA is good for other things other then furniture: IKEA used as soupkitchen, babysitter. To start, she measured the highest point that she wanted the curve to reach, which was around eight inches taller than the bookcase. Maybe the government should simply award IKEA with being Top Exporter of the Social Democratic Model .
Great Deal
