@loveletters_home: Favorite home project of 2024? This Ikea built-in hack! 😍 I have an entire highlights dedicated to this project, but here are some FAQs! -We used Havsta cabinets for lowers and Billy bookcases for uppers. This allowed the shelves to go to the ceiling (we have 9ft. ceilings so we had to cut them down a bit). -Next we added a connecting shelf with plywood and lattice trim. -After caulking and using spackle to fill the millions of holes, we sanded and primed the cabinets for paint. -Paint is 1905 Green by Magnolia Home available at Ace Hardware. We color drenched the entire room and I haven’t regretted that for single second! #diyhome #homeprojects #homediyproject #builtins #homediy #diytips #homeimprovement #ikeahack #ikeahome #builtincabinets #featurewall #homedesign
Billy's are great but if you really want to store books in them you better reinforce the selves as they can't take the weight during long periods of time. once one fails they all come down.

we used IKEA cupboards for a wall to wall tv unit, buffet and wall cupboard for food storage, so much cheaper and looks way better
