I always get so envious of people who have dads that care about them and actually help them

[@abbywonder3825]

Also....are you going to make a little reading bench on the wall with the thinner shelves???

[@BookswithBrittany]

I think I will later on ☺️

[@MegaGinki]

I was thinking the same

[@Johanna_reads]

Your parents seem like the loveliest people! The shelves look stunning! Congrats on all that hard work! 📚🔨

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thank you ☺️🤍

[@bookssnoozeandrocknroll1016]

Your joy over your new home makes me so happy! 📚 I wish you many wonderful moments in this beautiful home library.

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thank you so much ☺️🤍

[@BrookMadalyn]

If you had like white flowy curtains; that would make this look so majestic. This room looks absolutely lovely! Great job

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thanks!

[@valw3774]

🔨 this was AMAZING! I'm so inspired 😄 it looks absolutely perfect and I can't wait to see it decorated and full of books 📚

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thank you! ☺️

[@MonnyArcade]

They look so incredible!!! I would be crying with joy if I had such an amazing and beautiful shelf set up as that!!!!

[@redjarl]

🔨 it turned out so good👍 Thank you for showing us the work it takes to plan, assemble, construct, paint.

[@mandys1379]

I love seeing all stuff with your new house! And I love the library room! Lots of nice shelves and lots of natural light for reading during the day!! 📚📚

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thank you! ☺️

[@Lokster71]

That looks superb. Now you've got all the fun of deciding how you're going to put your books in there. It'll look even more amazing when they're on the shelves. 📚 My Dad built me a desk (with two whacking great bookshelves as the support for the top. I've got 200+ books in there, which got a lot of books that were - until then - shelved on the floor. It's always good to have a Dad with carpentry skills. 😁

[@BookswithBrittany]

Awesome! I can’t decide how I want to organize it!

[@Lokster71]

@@BookswithBrittany Yep, always the toughest choice. I used to default to the alphabetical order by author. But lack of space means I've not been able to really do that here so they're alphabetical in some places but authors whose books I own all or most of have there own separate bits. So the shelves on my desk have Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Chekov, Kafka, Bulgakov, Elizabeth Jane Howard, Tove Jansson, Barbara Pym, Elizabeth Taylor and Jean Rhys. (For example.) All my Rosa Luxemburg books (about her or by her) are on top of the desk. It's all a bit arbitrary. But I like it.

[@EyeAme]

Ha! All i see is a space for shoes and accessories. You guys did a great job😊.

[@KatieColson]

Wow this is stunning. Your parents are godsends. You all did such an amazing job

[@Satyapatels]

I got the biggest smile on my face with the first clip of your mom and dad at home dep with you🤍! Your moms so cute 😊

[@jamiereads3]

Yes girl! 📚 your library looks amazing! You guys have done such great job with it! It’s going to look so fab once it’s filled with all your books 😍

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@jamiemayfield3151]

I would make the coziest reading nook under one of those windows. Looks great! Super excited for you.

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thank you! ☺️

[@samworley3960]

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thank you! How exciting :)

[@nathaniel4334]

Great job! I have library envy :) nice to see you and family working together to create this space.

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thanks! :)

[@readingreignbro5680]

Wow. Y'all did such a great job. Props to Mom and Pops. Looks like WOT can have its own shelf now. Congrats, Brittany, its coming together nicely. Cheers.

[@BookswithBrittany]

[@BookswithBrittany]

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thank you! ☺️

[@trewaldo]

Amazing bookshelves! Great to see you build and assemble them. Cheers, Britt! 🥰🤓😍

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thank you! :)

[@JeannyMeyer]

I have a lot of catching up to do with your videos so it’s the first time I properly see your new shelves. They look sooooo great!

[@tag2054]

LOVE !! 😍 The hard work paid off. 🔨Your home is absolutely beautiful. Looking forward to Part 2. 📖📚

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@peek-a-boo7877]

You were blessed with the best parents! Love this!

[@melsbookshelves]

📚🔨 Loved this vlog!!! I cannot wait until you put all the books on and we see what it looks like completely done 😍

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thank you! Me too ☺️

[@danakinscheuer]

Fits well into my space, I painted the back green. It's very easy to customize just the back if that's something you want to do. I would suggest sanding it first before painting, I got a little impatient. The shelves kzbin.infoUgkxM8H4CjCb79vzeyvgaFMdzmLm88oVFPMkare pretty small so keep that in mind if you're going to have it horizontal that some books won't fit. I like the snug look that it has. Good small shelf if you don't have much space, but not too small. Simple to put together, though you'll need your own tools, a screwdriver and a mallet/hammer, it's easiest to do with another person.

[@bunnyopz]

This is amazing!! Great job to you and your family!! ♥️♥️

[@MrLGDUK]

Those look fantastic! What a room - I can't wait to see it with all the shelves loaded with books and with a chandelier! 💡📚🪛

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thank you! ☺️

[@jolynnensz9000]

Love love love this. 😍😍😍😍 Incredible job!

[@OnixMint]

Omg omg it turned out so amazing!! 😍😍 it’s every book worm’s dream 🙌🙌 a home library is something I want, but I know it can be very expensive but thanks to this billy bookshelf hack it seems doable! Great

[@BookswithBrittany]

It still cost a lot but was way cheaper than hiring someone! Thank you ☺️🤍

[@safinan8008]

[@kaizacorp]

Damn, that came together so nicely! Now I want to see it full of all the books!!! 📚

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thank you :)

[@khione8044]

This is beautiful! I've been wanting to do something similar to this for my craft room, but I'm not very good with power tools.

[@tanninsandtales5682]

Looks pretty and functional. I love the windows!

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thank you! :)

[@veronaeekma]

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thanks! ☺️

[@aprilrainx]

Wow they look amazing!!! Love it

[@DylanDoesBooks]

Living the dream there! I aim to have my own personal library one day, love the way you built it too. When I build one I would go black, then we could have the yin and yang of home libraries.

[@BookswithBrittany]

Yes! I do miss my black shelves but I felt like the white went with the overall house aesthetic

[@sarareads9185]

Looks amazing you're right your father is definitely a genius and as I said before a total cutie. Both your parents are amazing. I'm so happy that everything is looking great and coming together and that you can finally move in. I know how exciting that is for you. I'm totally looking forward to the book organization it come next. Also I just saw the update on Goodreads and I'm very jealous that you got your book. Empire just shipped so I should get it no later than the 15th I'm hoping it comes exactly on time. That's literally my most anticipated read of the year. Lots of love always to you and your family. Happy Monday.

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thank you so much ☺️🤍 I just started the ebook 🙈 but my copy should come tmrw I hope!

[@Jesmarie7]

Omg!!! They came out gorgeous!!!!!

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thank you!

[@dominishbooks]

Looks awesome, I'm so jealous just to even have the blank canvas wallspace to build something like that in! 🛠📚

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thanks! :)

[@MrCamilla]

That is gorgeous 😍 If that was mine I would also try to build in a window bench between the bookcases by the shortest window

[@lorbito155]

Awesome! can’t wait to see all the books on them 🔨🔧

[@BookswithBrittany]

☺️

[@ChrislynReadsWithPugs]

Just a pro tip for next build, remove your baseboards to have the shelves meet the wall, flush. Hope it helps 😊

[@MattBalara]

Amazing. 😀👌🏻 I’m in the middle of having a huge built in bookshelf done - I’m useless at building and have no cool dad, so I’m working it out with a carpenter - so I can imagine how good it feels to have it done! Congrats! 👍🏻

[@BookswithBrittany]

Hope it turns out great :)

[@aliciaguzman]

🗜The bookshelves look AMAZING

[@kevinzalac8945]

Very few things in this world make me feel as envious as a full room dedicated to books. Wow.

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thank you! ☺️

[@BeautybyTaime]

🔨🪛🪚 Holy cow those look AMAZING!!! Your parents are awesome for helping with everything! I don’t have the best relationship with my parents so it’s heartwarming for me to see relationships like this. Can’t wait to see how you organize your books and all your special editions!! Do you plan on displaying some on top? Or do you have other plans for that?

[@BookswithBrittany]

Thank you! ☺️ Right now it’s sort of the spill over zone 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@enzodagawd]

Awesome video. I'm going to try to replicate for a wall in my office and use your video as a guide. Wish me luck 🤞🏾
