Renovating my friend’s entire basement for only $3k isn’t easy so by using IKEA billy bookcases we’re able to save a lot of money 💰 By customizing the trim around the cabinets, it looks and feels like a custom piece… And to finish it off, we need to paint them to make them look like they have a factory finish and this is exactly how you do that! You could totally use this same method with a paint brush and roller, just make sure you use shellac primer or else the paint will never stick. By usin

The IKEA Billy Bookcase Hack! When we moved into our new build there was NO storage. We needed storage but didn’t have a huge budget. IKEA hacks were the solution, and this is one of my favs! It stores office supplies, kids crafts (grown up ones too!), and all the random stuff 😍. Plus some lovely books! Had to go with a moody green to give it a bit of an academic feel. The Billy Bookcases happened to fit almost perfectly here. I used Oxberg doors to conceal the bookcases (which allows us to put

IKEA built-ins DIY Pt 2 🔨 Go back and watch pt 1 if you missed it!! This is the easiest way to do built-ins EVER and will save you thousands. We used: 3 IKEA Havsta cabinets for lowers, a 3/4” finished plywood top, and 3 standard Billy bookcases (cut down to fit our 8ft ceilings). Next we secured the pieces to one another, anchored the shelves to studs in the wall, and trimmed everything out using a 1x6 header ( crown molding) and 1-1/2” primed pine lattice molding. Now we’re filling holes and

Take a look at my DIY Pantry Makeover using @ikeacanada Billy Bookcases, paint, and mirrors. When we first bought our house we had a weird half wall that looked into the basement. I wanted to cover it up and we needed storage, so I bought IKEA billy bookcases secondhand from Kijiji and built them in. The total cost was $300. I loved the way they looked and the extra storage, but after a few years I wanted a change. I have always been inspired by @tommysmythe kitchen, and fell in love with @janar
