My Ikea Hack

My Ikea Hack

Before this house becomes a distant memory, I thought I might show you some more of it. Let's start with my Ikea hack.

When we moved in, there were no bookcases at all. Above are the built-in bookcases Golf Guy did for me. These were created using 5 Ikea Billy bookcases with two extenders on each and then a board at the top for the three sconces that I wanted for more lighting for the living room and lots of shelves for my books and objets.

The cost came in at under $1,000 and would have been many many times that for custom. I think they look great. Note that this configuration was for 10 foot ceilings. I might do something similar in the new house but with a different handyman. LOL
