Hear me out with the switch…. Cut a hole in the back of the bookshelf right where the switch is and then place a front facing fake book in front of it so you can open the cover and turn on the switch, it would be so super cook and you could build a little fairy house inside of the fake book too 🥹

[@victoriaivy5953]

Cute** 🤦🏼‍♀️😂not cook

[@RKhan]

Just about this comment this!

[@dezi5643]

I literally just wanted to comment this and then you had already done it.

[@AlleyKat46]

Love that idea!!

[@legendaryreader39]

This is a brilliant idea. Super cute ❤

[@ginnyluv4601]

Every book girlie's dream is to have a dream home library! I want one when I get a home!

[@claricegomes5716]

It´s so that

[@lilacprincess]

Maybe do a few floating shelves above the light switch! Some light wooden ones would look so nice and bring in some warmth 🫶🏼

[@littlewanderer3809]

You can get extensions for the tops of the Billy bookcases, I love them, I have really high ceilings so I have two extensions. Makes it look seamless

[@bea5687_]

Definitely screamed when this video came up!!! Love you bestie Racheal ❤️

[@person-sx5ki]

u should put fairy lights along the top of the bookshelves💓💓

[@nessagrace4341]

try getting book stands for the books you want to display the front of! it helps keep them closed if they’re paperbacks

[@miiiiaaah]

This has been my most anticipated video of this year

[@oliviat7387]

RACHEL this is the DREAM! I'm sooo in LOVE! It looks amazing! Can't wait to see the room when its done, its going to be sooo cozy!

[@kaitlynbuquoi7132]

Just a heads up that you can also add in the extensions on top of the Billy's for extra space when/if you run out of space. They also have the option to add in a single shelf too!

[@neve4834]

As soon as she saw the gnomes I knew we lost her 😂❤

[@iammellbell]

YESS!! been looking forward to this soo much!!!!!

[@graceelainee92]

Hey Rachel! Absolutely love your content its so relaxing!!! your library room is actual goals! Just wanted to mention, a ZZ plant is extremely easy to look after! they like being neglected just if you are looking for an easy-to-look-after plant. Peace lilies are also super easy to care for because they droop when they are thirsty. x

[@tarawiperi]

You could move that light switch over a bit. It’s actually very simple to do.

[@evelientx]

THEY LOOK SO GOODDDD

[@bonniemae1397]

Been waiting for this one I’m obsessed 😍

[@mildrumpus]

I discovered your channel through this video. The library looks GREAT. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍

[@JenevaGriffin]

I absolutely love it!! Floating shelves above the TBR cart would be cool. Or like you said, art.

[@luvmiyax]

Binge watching this when I get home!

[@abbypamfile7820]

so early!! live your vids so much bestie 🤍🤍

[@onlykatiemedia1621]

Spotted rush on the tbr cart. I can’t wait to read it in summer ❤

[@makylarowe5155]

I need a part 2 of this library room asap 🤣📚

[@asselorsth7921]

Racheelllll this is the best thing I’ve seen today 🥹 getting bookshelves like this and organizing them IS the dream of every reader and watching you living that dream made me super happppy ❤ ayyy I’m so happy for you!

[@ecr.7695]

There could be a narrow 3-shelf under the light switch and where the TBR cart resides. Or one of those book column shelf that you stack the books and it looks invisible; the light switch can still be accessible if you stack the books appropriately. I also agree with the extensions; you can add them later in the future. But the crochet bee is cute! Enjoyed the video and wishing you the best in your new home 🙏💛.

[@billieeilish_harrystyles]

I LOVE YOU SM

[@tatianaursu6090]

[@SarahBailey28]

I just cut a hole in the back of the bookshelf for my light switch and just decorated that shelf

[@rhayes8596]

So goooddd 🎉

[@Booksformonika]

Looks great 👍

[@emmasdeaf]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE TURN IT UP

[@desi5162]

If you moved the shelves slightly towards the light switch you’d be able to fit another thin shelf in the other end (near the window) ❤

[@allesae]

love love love

[@julia888]

Your library looks beautiful 💗 What a dream!! And your little decor pieces 🥹🫶🏻 Now that you own that house 🤩 you could maybe get an electrician to move the light switch over a few centimetres so you can fit another bookshelf in? Just an idea for the future since you mentioned you would love another small shelf on that side ☺️

[@k_reads_romance_]

Hiii !! I hope you're okay! I love your videos so so so much. I love your library room. It looks literally stunning. I wanna get my own library room too one day. It feels like you just have to go in there and you feel transported to another world full of stories and funny stuffs. I'm so proud of the work you've put into building that room for you. I love it and I'll definitely think about your video when the day will come for me to get my own library room. Love on you ! Keep doing these amazing and stunning videos of yours. 💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@hannahgreenham4294]

bestie where are your jean shorts from? levi? They look amazing!!!!

[@lydiavernon530]

I think you would love The Mysterious Benedict Society book series!! It is so much fun, and more of a cozy adventure vibe ❤❤

[@rebecccaaa]

For the light switch space you might have enough room for one of the small billys if you move them all more left and change the angle of the corner shelf a bit.

[@user-bo1en3lz8g]

Its so beautiful🪩🪴

[@caitlynbloxham3530]

Love this!!! What a library room ❤ Did you get rid of all your Colleen Hoover books? X

[@Breanna3206]

The Raven Kennedy books, did you do a video on them? I am so curious about those :)

[@shlb19]

the room looks gorgeous ❤, unrelated where are your shorts from? (I'm on the hunt for a nice pair for summer)

[@user-pk4sc6fo1p]

Beautiful I also love books 📚 👍

[@melodycollis]

As soon as I buy a house, this is my dream ❤

[@bethanydonaldson4790]

Where did you get your Aelin shirt??! I love it!

[@jemmaleigh6692]

where is your throne of glass shirt from i’m obsessed and i need to buy it 😍😍😍

[@lindsay.b]

[@tyshaadams3367]

Is move the plant on the left over to the right so it gets more direct sunlight

[@vusan_]

What does op stand for?? Is it the same as a charity shop? Ps I am sooo jealous of the library room! It looks so good

[@srnamil]

There is a fairy core section in Kmart Rach. In the kids craft section 🧚🏻‍♀️

[@evelientx]

I could literally scream from excitement

[@gemmaknight8856]

You can just cut out a hole in the bookcase for the light switch, it's easy to do xx

[@starlasell5698]

❤📚📚❤️ Fantastic!!

[@ParmidaPormehr]

It's now 1:44 a.m in Iran. But I can't help watching your video before going to bed :)

[@misskikikat]

Impressed you got all your books on those shelves......I have 9 bookshelves, and they are double stacked; and that doesn't even have all my books on them. I still have some in boxes in a cupboard and also some floor stacks........and that's only because I can't part with books. Even if I didn't like them or will never read them again, there is a memory attached to them that I can't bare to part with them.

[@kyra8138]

I wanted to know where you got your traditionally published illustrated Magnolia Parks series paperbacks from? I ordered the first one from the UK and mine isn't as floppy as your paperbacks.

[@Baileyroberson]

Need to know where your jean shorts are from!!
