When we built our new house I knew I wanted to build a book nook/library in this nook in our basement. It’s now my favorite room in the house!
We built a base out of 2×4’s and plywood and then put together 8 Billy Bookshelves, 6 normal size and 2 smaller ones, all with the extensions. We attached them together and to the base and then added trim on the sides, top, and bottom. I tried to convince Rory to add trim to the ceiling but he wasn’t having that so I gave up, lol! I think it still looks awesome! Then I painted all the trim to match the Ikea shelf color, and also filled in the holes with spackle to make them less noticeable.
It looks really nice!
It’s beautiful! The bookcases are great and the “One more chapter” pillow is the cherry on top.
What an awesome book nook! I would never want to leave; surely chores can take second place to curling up in that chair and getting lost in an imaginary world
100% I do!
OMG, that book nook is amazing! I love the idea of using Billy bookshelves to create a custom look. So inspiring! I might have to try something similar.
