DIY IKEA Built-in Library Shelves *AFFORDABLE & EASY HACK*

[@lonefox]

Apologies for the black screen at the end of the video! I had an outro to place there and it didn’t export properly. Was just wanting to say thank you so much for watching :)

[@kimberbell4238]

Where are your bookcases from??

[@nadegejuste2638]

I was a bit confused with the blackout lol. But u gave me great idea for my own bookshelves. I Will use yours as inspiration but will hold the bookcase with command strips as im in a rental n would like something less permanent. :)

[@claraweingarth9000]

Thank you! Where can we find the finished, styled look?

[@jillgrit]

I thought you were going to put metal rails on the slanted shelves... I hope that isn't scrapped... I think it will be the icing on the whole of your fabulous work... I am totally impressed with everything you've done in your home... I look forward to every show...

[@SheriLynNut]

Drew I have to say I was skeptical about the bookcases but they came out absolutely stunning! I think instead of the rosettes I would’ve done a brass rail to match the lamps and then I would’ve filled that area with plants! But I’m super happy that you’re in love with it 😍😍

[@Creyole]

Oooooo I love the idea of the brass rail especially if he’s going to put them on the slanted shelves plus the brass lamps *chef kiss*

[@heatherb9853]

I know the piece over the door was meant to link the two together, but sad that the natural light won’t be able to move up to the vaulted ceilings. Kind of makes it feel gloomy up there, and the doors feel trapped and caged off. But love that Drew finds exactly what he loves and goes with it! Not for everyone, but so creative and fun!

[@deniseenglish5306]

I would call the trim pieces across the top dental molding

[@clairewright8153]

I have a white ikea bookcase that I’ve put behind my bedroom door as we are short on storage and it was away of hiding or disguising it, but now I think it needs a bit more attention.

[@amberlamoine1]

@@deniseenglish5306 I was thinking the same thing. I personally would not have not used the rosette bullseye but turned them around as to try to accomplish more of a dental molding look if I was trying to achieve this look. I love you Drew and the most important thing is you love it as it's your space and whatever makes your heart sing is the right decision for you!

[@lechatbotte.]

Thank goodness the doors are mounted no more falling over, that took 10 yrs off my life lol. I love watching each new thing being finished and completed. Wow just so beautiful

[@grisespino5342]

Lol me too!!! I think I fainted once 🤤

[@gggrandmotherannonetsy423]

I was right there with Justin when he said "they look interesting", when you asked about the rosettes. But once again, you have an eye and a creativity to come up with and deliver remarkable results.

[@jeffvenables4845]

Drew, when I think back on everything you’ve worked on and completed-the windows; refinishing, scraping, adding munitions-the paint, the fireplace, the stained glass-now the built-ins! It really is all in the details. It’s all so amazing! Kudos to Justin and Maria as well!

[@michelez715]

Creativity + meticulous attention to detail + technical knowhow = perfection. Well done, yet again, Drew.

[@MrTaryns]

I love what your doing with this house. your improving and restoring its beauty when some other designer would have gone with modern trends, blown out the walls for that open floor plan everyone has to have, put up subway tile and slapped white paint on everything. what your doing is classic and will not be out dated in 5-7 years when the next trend comes along, keep doing your own thing.

[@karisuperstar]

WOW WOW WOW the shelves look so amazing. I was thinking that whole wall would look too busy and heavy with the door and shelves but it actually came out INCREDIBLE especially when you painted them to match the walls. You’re such an AMAZING designer. Can’t believe you started out doing little apartment DIYs! Bravo to you drew!

[@lonefox]

You are tooooo sweet Kari thank you so much for this sweet comment ❤

[@samatiesse]

I've noticed that in most cases, a full wall of built-ins in the wall colour look less busy than a couple units or mid-height drawer piece. As long as you take care to leave some shelves almost empty with only decor it's going to appear as less heavy. It also appears to be taking less space in the room because you still have a straight wall.

[@willbe939]

The bookcases look absolutely great but I’m not a fan of the upper trim. I find it fights with the vault and distracts from the entire piece. It’s just my personal preference though.

[@sandieedward993]

What's amazing about Drew & McCenna are their Abilities to Learn and try out New Things and stepping out of their Comfort Zones to Create whatever their Brains can imagine ...LoVe that in Anyone's Soul, it's What makes Stars Designer & Achievers pushing "Oneself" to Their utmost Creative Expression 💝 Which is what I LoVe in Great Design 💕💕😻

[@marywise2703]

The bookcases surrounding the doors make it look like a chateau door. So beautiful

[@x.x.c.c]

Yes ! 😭

[@fleurdelis2976]

I love the step you built. That was a great idea to use the wood from Lowe's. Great job! I can't wait to see the bookshelf with the metal rods attached.

[@ismichelman]

there is something so addicting and euphoric about watching you approach your DIYs. You make it look so easy and fun, and I appreciate that so much about your videos. The main reason I love design is the problem solving aspect of it, and you are constantly solving problems and making things look so seamless and beautiful. amazing job!

[@SamiLoft]

i love love love the results specially with the small squares on the top of the shelves! so cute and came so well together

[@gsander4837]

Book cases look amazing. I’m not a rosette fan, but understand why you incorporated them into your design. Love the lights inside the book cases. I think some warm white dim lighting behind the rosettes would accentuate the architecture on the ceiling and give you a warm cozy vibe to that side of the room. Thanks for sharing.

[@Leila2206]

I saw the negative comments on Instagram and Im so sad, that people think, your home its made for them... Its what you love and what you want to have in your HOME. the whole room commes sooo nice together, I live in Europe and this is great example of the design here. You do a great job!

[@diamondstud322]

I for one, love the bookcases, IMO no home should be without them. Love how you transformed them so they look like they’ve always been there. I think the chairs were worth the investment, and the amber gold chenille looks fabulous! Everything you’ve done suits that beautiful original ceiling. Love it ❤❤

[@Andbygrace7024]

It is amazing how your viewers truly care about you Drew....haven't even met you but am so glad you're wearing g a mask.....when sanding.

[@Rebecca-zw4pm]

Drew, I've been watching your videos since you were making one of your first rental apartment a beautiful space and taking us on your journey. I have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying your new home's makeover. I am so proud of you. Wishing you all the success you deserve with much love. 🥂❤️

[@lonefox]

Thank you so much Rebecca for the support over so many years!!!

[@oliviathomas6702]

I love the way your videos are structured. Although we’ve seen clips of the book shelves in other videos, I love seeing it from the start! Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this!

[@taylortakes]

If you’re going for comfy castle vibes you found them 🏰 the bookcases frame those gorgeous stained glass doors perfectly. What a warm, inviting space. Love what you’ve done with the place! ❤

[@lonefox]

I AM!!

[@vanillaskye55]

Love it! The Gothic style you have throughout your house reads castle vibes to me. So I think the rosettes lean into the castle vibes. I am here for it. The bookcases are stunning!

[@lonefox]

Yes! Im going for a charming castle vibe that doesn’t lean scary!

[@vanillaskye55]

@Lone Fox I love that. So far you are successful!

[@patriciastark7292]

Drew, not only are you talented designer, you’re becoming a skilled craftsman! Bravo! Looks amazing and the chairs, like icing on the cake!!

[@barbaraburton8914]

I wish you put the 2nd chair farther apart because it blocks the beautiful stained glass doors. Maybe it isn't an issue when you are really in the room but on video??❤ The bookcases are fantastic.

[@suburbanhomestead]

The technical term for what you did with the rosettes is crenellation. It also almost serves as classical dentils. It was a clever solution

[@maggieg2724]

Am I crazy or was the outro blacked out for like a minute? Drew this looks so good! Bravo.

[@saffron_allen]

Drew, everything looks great! I love how you took simple IKEA bookshelves and completely redid them to look like they are built-ins! The Monterey chairs are absolutely stunning and look amazing with the rug you have down!

[@keithwilcox6414]

Drew, love the bookcases. Have you thought about adding small LED lights that shine up to the ceiling running behind the rosettes? Place them midway the depth of the shelves, and maybe even see if you can change the color of the lights to go with whatever mood you want to give. I’m not meaning a strip of lights but a row of 2-3” round lights. It would highlight those beams that are on your wall. I think that would be dramatic! And I know you like drama 😂

[@ritaevans7125]

Great idea.

[@AnnieWarbux]

I Like that! I love lighting options to change things up..

[@claudinemontes8385]

Exactly what I was coming here to say!

[@victoriagonzalez582]

The rosettes on top of the shelves are so reading medieval castle which makes my heart soar! Love it m’lord!

[@kokohale]

I am so so happy you really leaned into the medieval aspect of the design. It's so hard to find modern interpretations/DIYs that look editorial rather than cheap and kitschy 😍 That step is setting off my ocd tho, it's way too narrow for the average foot 😂

[@GodessSiri]

I just got my step-dad to sit with me and watch this vid. My brother will be buying his first house this year and is going to want built in bookshelves, my step-dad is going to build them. Knowing my step-dad he would have done it the hard way and bought very expensive wood and made them from scratch - and driven us all crazy in the drawn out process. He's a very rigid thinker and it's not easy to suggest new ideas to him. He was grinning the whole vid and thought what you did was brilliant. He started looking around my lounge for where he might be able to add some bookshelves (I've got NO room) and I gently suggested to him he might want to go this route when it comes to building my brother's shelves. I think you've just saved my brother a tonne of money and the rest of us a tonne of headaches.

[@madolynway6612]

Love the cushion cover colour. Also like that you are adding a metal rack on the display shelves.

[@shelbygreen5132]

This made me cry!!! It's soooo beautiful! I've always dreamed of having a library, I got some amazing ideas from watching your vid. I bought a little house this past summer and I knew it needed a lot of work, but the inspector did tell some pretty big lies. It's waaayyyy worse than what I signed up for. 2 contractors declined the project, not that I could afford them anyway. My money is super limited so I'm doing all of the work by myself with ZERO experience. But, I've been watching home remodel and DIY videos since I was a child, obsessively. So, I decided to be positive and I figure, if anyone was made for this kind of surprise, it was me. I'll get it done eventually and I'll be so happy to have a warm, beautiful home for my children. Fun news! I bought some power tools from an auction last week and I'm looking forward to going home this weekend and getting some projects moving. Send me some creative vibes, warm home wishes and happy energy!!! ❤

[@KateyEC]

The bookcases look STUNNING! I cannot believe how much character the rosettes add! Stealing that idea for sure. 🤗❤️

[@artsygal112]

I gotta say....I was a skeptic....but I love this! Was afraid u would go dark with the stain but I love that u kept it light and matching the walls! And the rosettes? A nice touch! I love of the visual interest it gives

[@luvurab]

I love, love, love your creativity Drew. And the fact that you are not afraid to take chances or try new things.

[@northwoodfalls1403]

That exposed shelf was seriously stressing me out 😂. I didn’t see any comments about it and I was so tempted to beg you to fix it but something told me there was a reason it was still like that so I refrained. There was NO WAY you would have missed a detail like that. None the less, I literally sighed with relief when you covered it 😆 I think you were spot on about the rosettes as the trim to finish the shelves off without taking away from the ceiling beam details. It does look like the two are in harmony now. With them all trimmed and painted, the new step, the doors …. It gives the room the gravitas the beams were begging for it to have. Love it, Drew. Really gorgeous. The cushions for the chairs turned out so well, too. They look so comfy. Excited to see it all styled ! I think a lot of people who are on the fence will be converted once they see it completed.

[@kelleyworsham9187]

Drew love your project. Not a fan of the rosettes. But everything else wonderful. Like the idea of the slanted shelf

[@BrenJen86]

[@jrwaters943]

Drew, I love you and your content, but you really need to get rid of the castle trim on the top and add doors to the bottom row to help anchor the shelves by giving it more visual weight at the bottom.

[@heidisettles5537]

You made a believer out of me with those upgraded bookcases, but I agree the rosette trim needs to be removed. I know you will be accessorizing the bookcases and it will be too much. A very subtle uplighting on top of bookcase would be nice also. Those chairs are divine! Love the sconces and the paint stick spacers is so smart. The step with timbers is genius!

[@phoebedoeseverything]

[@mikkileon6380]

Oh Drew holy cow Drew. Seriously a bow down to you. Your work is phenomenal. I love everything you’ve done and how you brought light into the room. The details to the bookcases make it from an ordinary functional to statement a Gorgeous statement. Oh, and putting the rosettes along the very top spaced out Makes a little bit like a castle with the mid evil beans in light fixtures. I hope I’m explaining this the way I mean for it to come out. Just plain or just a piece of molding just would not have carried the style of the ceiling and the beams and everything up there down into the walls the bookcases the incredible gorgeous, unique vintage French doors. It just wouldn’t have accented them to this level. And what you did at the bottom of those French doors. Holy moly they’re not just functional in those beautiful doors there. Oh no, it’s a piece of art just from the floor to the bottom of those doors. I love it love it love it every little tiny detail not just the big ones are mine blowing. Can’t wait to see what you do next. I am enjoying this so much Drew thank you thank you thank you. Oh, and the Monterey chairs are so uniquely perfect. They bring like the structure and strength of that mid evil/Art Deco era altogether. The detail on the sides I feel completely in love with so something I would love to get my hands on. There’s so unique and rare and one-of-a-kind really. So like each piece is a little different. And the resources you have discovered to buy really unique pieces for your home like that antique stone sink, I think, from like turkey, amazing. This home is truly becoming more and more of a work of art. Thanks for taking us along to these unique shops, which I would never get to explore and enjoy. If not for you. I am so very much living vicariously through you. I’m a 60-year-old Mama/Nana in the Pacific Northwest and I pretty much spent my life changing diapers and flipping tortillas lol. But I learned so much from you that I save up and get little pieces here and there and you and MacCenna have really influenced me in ways I never imagined I’d be influenced into a totally different direction. My style is definitely Mexican BoHo. But I’ve introduced neutrals like creamy off whites which I never really saw is my style and now I’m in love with. I also love, your choice of fabrics texture, even more than color that you chose for your chairs. Actually, I love all the things you’ve had reupholstered or done yourself. But chenille not like the chenille and bedspreads, but the chenille like in throw blankets and like you did on your chairs, I am passionate about. Thank you so much for taking me a long your journey. It’s turning out to be quite the ride.

OK, when you showed the paint sticks behind the trim pieces on the shelves, we got a glimpse of your ceiling beams. And they have such a gorgeous stencil work on them. I don’t know how I never noticed that before. But those are gorgeous.

[@SMS9155]

Instead of the Rossets on top, I think it would have looked a little nicer to have done something similar to the ceiling beam design on top of the bookcases. Just my 2 cents.

Great transformation on the bookcases, Drew, and I love that you painted them the wall color. I have to agree with some of the other posters, the rosettes are off and not in keeping with the classic look you always strive for. A horizontal line across the top would not be a bad thing, and would bring more attention to the beautiful beam above.

[@peterwall9999]

tbh i dont know if its just me but the ''trim'' on the top ... idk it doesnt seem to go, and id have painted the bookcases the same dark color as the door so it looked like a giant piece with the door included, but its a great idea

[@MS-zj2mf]

I agree about the top trim. Looks a little too castle themed

[@cynthiagreen6927]

NO Trim On Top… doesn’t match. Use the top for decor.

[@Ellierua]

Not a fan of the top part, i think it takes away from the doors. I really think old bookcases or something smaller beside those lovely doors would have been nicer.. Or painted dark so they don't compete with the doors.. Not my fav at all.

[@paniconelmstreet6838]

I was one of the skeptical people about the bookcases but i love the way you added that top shelf and all of the molding and rosettes so beautifully done you have such a eye for how things are gonna look i love everything u have done so far.

[@jekalambert9412]

I agree with other comments about not really diggin' the rosettes on top of the bookshelves. I think a strip of the same egg and dart moulding you used around the doors would look great and would visually tie the doors to the shelving units. I was also hoping you'd paint the shelves dark brown to match the existing trim because I think this would tie the built ins to the rest of the room and make them look like they're original to the home.

hmm it’s nice but i still don’t like the doors being so enclosed by the shelves. just feels cramped to me, but the shelves definitely look good on their own, just feel like it cramps it up next to the doors and the windows. Wish it could have been on another wall

I was one of those who didn't really connect with the idea of adding Ikea bookcases in such a lovely Spanish style house. I thought maybe a vintage cabinet would better. But the work you did on it, in the end, they look absolutely beautiful. Love love love it ❤️😍 And the little step in front of the door, OMG, Love.!!
