Being an interior designer myself. I can't believe how creative you are so effortlessly. You deserve all this success and more buddy! Wishing you a great design journey. You are sooo inspiring !

[@lonefox]

Awww this comment is too sweet! Thank you so Much

[@sisterspooky]

@uditidandilya1837 - You never watched Christopher Lowell back in the day? This is just like a project he did back in the 90s.

[@karenswank1865]

Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included kzbin.infoUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.

[@thepandadiaries]

Love the way this was edited because the silence feels really peaceful and calm. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@lonefox]

Ahhh yay!! That’s what I was going for!

[@SamiLoft]

even after seeing this video already on AD’s channel, I absolutely loooved your recreation and the different colour! Love your videos as always:)

[@mdjb49]

OMG. The pole wrap is everything. Your ideas and instructions are so thoughtful and thorough. Love your transparency. Thank you for your spirit.

[@lonefox]

So glad you enjoyed!

[@lilithabunni]

i’ll be using pole wrap on my vintage dresser! modernizing it significantly and it will be a ton of work for us but it is solid wood, oak i think, and i’m doing pole wrap horizontally on drawer fronts and sides to create one piece flow look

[@dhenukita]

Drew can’t go wrong. The man is a genius. The painted piece looks like a built in and this one has cozy vibes. They’re both stunning! Amazing work, Drew.

[@okashi10]

It looks so high-end after and I love the examples of both painted and natural wood

[@KristenMcGowan]

Genius!! Obsessed with this ikea hack!!!! You killed it!!!👏🏼

[@lonefox]

Thank you so much Kristen!

[@pattiturner0425]

@@lonefox There is a new channel that popped up this morning called Home Decor. It's all your videos. Is it your channel?

[@rachelcheng3823]

that hidden storage thing was absolutely genius can't wait to do this project someday:)

[@lonefox]

Right!!

[@Patti-1962]

I can't help myself, your bookcase was my favorite of the two made for AD. This is a stunning piece, with so many possibilities!!❤️❤️❤️

[@jameseisterhold2000]

DREW!, I just started a boho style bedroom. I feel like this is an absolute sign that I need to make this!

[@lonefox]

You 100% do!!

[@pw4075]

You stylishly elevated the look of what started out as a basic bookcase. You are so talented; your projects never disappoint.

[@WrenMcNally]

I think this is a great starter piece for someone who is learning to DIY. It looks great and even if all someone did was replacing the back it just adds so much to the bookcase. I hope to see you use more of that wrap material in the future and see what you come up with. Maybe a tall standing plant stand with that wrap in an oval or triangle shape? Or a headboard would be neat too.

[@lonefox]

That’s so true! Just replacing the back would be a more affordable upgrade as well :)

[@luticia]

I am a Newbie when it comes to DIY. And honestly I cannot do this. Just because I do not have those machines.

[@WrenMcNally]

@@luticia I dont either but I do know that you can rent tools from hardware stores. But just replacing the back is a good place to start. :)

[@luticia]

@@WrenMcNally thanks for helping me out. Yes, it‘s possible to rent them. But financial not worth it. At the end, this shelf will cost way more than a new fancy non-Ikea shelf. DIY is only worth it if you do a lot of projects or if you work with materials and tools you‘ve got already on hands. In my opinion.

[@GoogleUser-wx8mw]

Pole wrap on the very bottom and the in the back of the shelves really finishes the piece. Looks soooo good. Billy never looked so good, haha.

[@lonefox]

Yes!! I also realized I never shared me adding that small strip to that section! I totally forgot to add in the footage

[@mickeyfash3943]

This is the best hack ever. I love the natural wood look as much as the one you painted. I’m going to try this technique with the Billy that is half the height of these, putting two together and doing a console cabinet. Thank you for the inspiration!!!!!!!

[@JessicaRussianSifontes]

Oohhhhhhh that sounds great!!!

[@JessicaRussianSifontes]

I love the final look but I feel that those sides are wasted space if they can't be used, especially in a small apartment, so the addition of magnets is a brilliant idea!

[@MsTAAlex]

And this is why we love you! Thank you for hearing us, Drew. Such a fabulous piece.

[@paranihiaanaru4414]

You are so kind to do this for your readers/viewers. Thank you very much, and for all the effort that goes into creating these videos

[@heatherinparis]

Wow....I thought the AD version of this project was absolutely beautiful and now you've gone and done a natural finish one. SPECTACULAR!!

[@melodyishere1908]

You're sooo talented Drew!!! This video your voice was so gentle and calming. I've been watching you for years and love whatever you make. Sending you lots of love!

[@KimberlyInSoCal310]

Drew, thank you SO MUCH for sharing the step-by-step how-to on this beautiful bookcase project! I loved the AD video so much and am so happy you took the time and effort to redo this project so we can see exactly how it's done. The bookcase is so chic, both in the painted version and in the natural wood version. I am seriously considering this project.

[@ellenl5626]

There are so many hacks of the Billy bookcase but this one really pushes the limits of creativity, what a great project!

[@Gabrielle499]

Omg so beautiful! 😍 You’d never guess this started out as an ikea billy book shelf. 👍 Way to go Drew! 🤎

[@lonefox]

Right!! It’s such a universal base for a project

[@white711]

Drew, your ideas are always amazing!!!! I love the bookcases painted and in wood. You are so creative and talented, thank you for sharing!

This is so beautiful! And the magnet idea to have secret storage is incredible! I am so going to make this!!

[@humanpotential6080]

LOVE LOVE LOVE it in natural wood tone. So glad you left it as is. I thought the painted one turned out fantastic but this one is so warm, yet chic. You inspire so much beauty. Thank you!

[@GillDawe]

Loved the AD version, love the wood version even more. This is why I love Ikea hacks... it's so easy to customize and elevate it on a budget!! A stunning, one of a kind(or I guess now it's two of a kind..) piece!

[@juliabrown9069]

This is so beautiful, Lone Fox did it again, making art that no one else has made setting trends continuously, living for this 💕

[@NiKKey411]

I love the light clean airyiness or the painted version and love the warmth or the raw wood version. Bothe are stunning pieces. This my be my fave diy of your to date

[@martharamos1617]

Soooooo beautiful! Just breathtaking! I love the color, so natural and zen.

[@Spicypiscean]

I still can’t get over how genius, creative and unique this was! So so happy for you and you deserve all the success in the world because you work so hard for it. All the best, Drew. 🥳❤️

[@deanniehelget622]

Wow! Great piece! Love how you took the back off and added the wrap. It elevated it so much. Really nice job!

[@rebeccavinyard2899]

The unpainted version is as beautiful as the painted one. I would have a difficult time choosing which I love best. ♥️♥️ Great job Drew!

A little hack to help hold any bracket/hanger/hook/etc. in place on basically anything: use a dab of hot glue to keep them in place until you are able to place the screws in 😉! It’s a great way to ensure everything is straight & level. Thank you for sharing all the details Drew! Have a wonderful & Blessed week ahead 🤗💜🙏🏻!
