I will never understand people who get mad about how someone else organizes there shelves.. they don't even have to deal with it

[@crazycupcakeize]

Yeah , there’s people who try to gatekeep in all communities/fandoms etc .

[@kyleorr533]

The National Shelf Organization Organization (NSOO) has standards and I’m sorry if you don’t agree with them. This video AND it’s flippant book shelf has been reported.

[@garyhoward2186]

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.

[@hailstales5364]

I love the shelves! I’m living for this cosy fall aesthetic! But man, wrapping all those books must have taken forever!

[@FaeryLaume]

My first thought, honestly, was "She's ****ing crazy!" But hey, I'm not the one doing all that work. And i admit it, I think it looks amazing. Aesthetic - nailed! I would totally want to spend time in that room. Kudos to you for having the creativity AND the energy to manifest it. Meanwhile, I too must find creative solutions to my current book shelf problems. In a nutshell, I have run out of room for all the new books I've purchased during the pandemic.

[@HardbackHoarder]

been there! i used to stack books on all flat surfaces and then they became tables lmao

[@FaeryLaume]

@@HardbackHoarder LOL "and then they became tables" - well, I'm always in need of more horizontal space....

[@watchp0int]

There is something so comforting and cozy about the way these shelves look. They're beautiful but also kind of matte in a way that is really inviting. Rainbow shelves are also beautiful but I feel like they are too overwhelming for me to live with.

[@jaynalascaibar1564]

First off, I think it is hilarious when people get angry at what other people do with their books. Second, I think it looks great. I especially like the idea of the open book. Very cool! This is definitely a welcoming library.

[@kittenmimi5326]

People gatekeeping... aah so annoying. Besides I ain't the one doing the work so... just watching her n her aesthethic bookshelf is nice

[@erinlayke5452]

Ok, I love this! It’s so dark academia!! 🔮🖤

[@crystalsbookishlife]

"$5 and hours, and hours, and hours, and hours of wrapping" 😂😂 I'm so excited to see how they turn out! And I think it's so cool you're taking such initiative to change them how you want them.

[@marianeaquino394]

I love how it gives more of a library vibe instead of a book store vibe 😊

[@jesstheneverendingbookshelf]

Your bookshelves look epic. I was so confused when you started talking about wrapping your books but the end result is awesome and so atmospheric.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Oh Man, I do not have the patience to wrap my books 😂

[@moonbook12]

Same

[@JashanaC]

THE DEDICATION.. my god! It looks so cool!

[@SorryBookedSolid]

Omg! I like the aesthetics, but I LOVE the idea of writing your years and ratings on them!!! Your organization is unmatched, spreadsheets are my love language 😍

[@books-on-a-wire]

It looks amazing once it was all done, perfect for this time of year. Even the cat fit the aesthetic lol! The last time I reorganized was before Animal Crossing so my shelves desperately need updating.

[@TinyNDangerous]

"before animal crossing" is actually a way to measure time haha

[@thisistinnytrying]

@@TinyNDangerous its a great way to not have to say quarantine

[@asheirahs_nook]

I really like how it turned out. It gives off those nice dark academia vibes ^^

[@lanielischke9390]

This is a fascinating idea. I actually like it, and it fits with the color theme and decor for this time of year.

[@asparagusisreading]

The intro, the car content, library makeover, all of it is ✨✨

[@AlexandraP24]

Your shelves looks really good! And the most important thing is that YOU like it😊 Thanks for sharing this idea.

[@readingandrum]

This is so freaking beautiful. When my collection gets to the stage yours is at i can't wait to do shit like this every few years or so lol. Definitely spot on with the ancient library feeling!

[@Bookables]

Gah this is GOALS! I need you come over & decorate my shelves! Stunning job Ali!!

[@HardbackHoarder]

um ANYTIME PLEASE 😜💕 thank you!

[@asparagusisreading]

This makes me want to flip my books around for Halloween or change how my shelves look. Rainbow who?😂

[@xXBelieveItOrNotXx]

Holy crap your shelves are beautiful 😻 I doubt I have enough spoons left in my lifetime to pull off such a labour intensive shelf makeover, but this is an aesthetic I didn't know I needed. Also, your nails 😻

[@alicetremblay2427]

This is the most aesthetically pleasing thing I’ve seen in a while

[@InkCat44]

the final result is AMAZING 😻 what a great idea. The time & effort you put into it was definitely worth it. I love your kitty and Halloween decorations too 👻☠️🥺

[@riversong9876]

I love the fall/gothic feel to this book self!!

[@catsbookstea24]

I'm can't take how pretty this is. Anyone who hates on you for doing what makes you happy can choke, especially when it has this stunning results. This is so inspiring, I'm itching to go do something to my shelves now.

[@CurrentlyAmber]

Absolutely gorgeous!! I’m in love!

[@theunwantedbookclub8823]

That's actually a pretty cool aesthetic...I want to get these cool mauve bookcases I found and wrap with lights/vines for different seasons. I have background tapestries to match for videos, too. Gives the room a nice atmosphere to write or read in.

[@TheBookishMom]

I absolutely love how your shelves turned out!

[@RobinReads]

This is such a creative idea! They look beautiful 😍

[@BrittanyandBooks]

this looks so cool and I feel like definitely fits your aesthetic so well! I love all the spooky decor !

[@CoffeeCocktailsandBooks]

Omg I’m OBSESSED with these shelves 😍

[@trishawood2997]

I love how that turned out!💕

[@sabrinaford9]

I love how they turned out.

[@TinyNDangerous]

I have so much respect for this. It looks so good!

[@letsjustpretend1]

LOVE this. I feel like this is such an affordable way to change your space and even though it took a lot of time and patience, it looks totally worth it!

[@megnarok634]

Wow! This looks AMAZING, such a great idea!!

[@MikaAuguste]

UHM I LOVE IT!! this is such a vibe wow✨🖤

[@HardbackHoarder]

thanks!!!!!🥰

[@sophiecarbone4977]

That looks so cool! Really love this idea! I am absolutely in love with the vintage look you went for. It’s capture perfectly!! Definitely would love to do something like this with my shelves one day!

[@r-evolve]

oh my gosh I would pay for that notion template 😍 or if you ever do a video tour/tutorial, I'd be so happy tip on kofi 😊

[@HardbackHoarder]

it's a template straight from notion! www.notion.so/Notion-Template-Gallery-181e961aeb5c4ee6915307c0dfd5156d

[@HardbackHoarder]

it's the "book tracker" one

[@jim1527]

i LOVE this idea. might do it actually

[@StarsAndEmbers]

Okay, but this actually looks so cool! I love it!

[@crazycupcakeize]

Imagine how good it would look with dark wooden book shelves .🤩

[@HappyforNow]

Omfg Ali!! This turned out so pretty 😍 I love it so much.

[@FourPawsandaBook]

This looks so good!!!

[@ravenluvs2read]

Absolutely STUNNING 😍😍😍 I love the idea of wrapping the books. Never even thought of that before!! Definitely gave me some ideas for mine when we get moved ☺️

[@cherylmusgrove7]

It’s beautiful! Well done!!!!

[@nocturnal.literati]

YES! i love masking paper, it works so well!! i used to use craft paper but it was just too thick and came out a bit messy. now i use this same masking paper from walmart and i love it!!! your shelves look great! 🤍

[@ottoismy1dog]

I love the new look . Crazy, definitely . I feel that covering all the books would be an extremely satisfying process . You are the Queen 👑

[@aprilw4599]

it looks fantastic!

[@meghamukherjee2183]

I have never seen a book shelf without Harry 💚💚 Love this... Love from India 💙💙

[@RegardingReading]

Oh wow, that's gorgeous!

[@annac9534]

It’s SO good!!

[@CompletelyMelanie]

Your shelves are always so pretty!

[@nisezink]

the aesthetic? ✨ immaculate ✨

[@samrjacobson13]

They are beautiful!!!

[@justynajusty]

Beautiful! Very creative and amazingly done. Yes, do you! Who cares if someone doesn't like it. At the end of the day if it makes you happy, go for it! It looks amazing, thank you for sharing!!

[@hanabanana8028]

this is stunningggg

[@MonicaReents]

Your shelves look beautiful 😍❤📚 I love the feel it gives your room and the decorations are stunning!

[@laurakoehler1099]

It looks so amazing!! It reminds me if a museum library 🥰

[@watchingsmosh]

Absolutely love!!

[@jennainman7657]

Oh GIRL!!!! That is STUNNING ♥️♥️♥️

[@HardbackHoarder]

thank you!!

[@teanlit2949]

I think this is AMAZING! It's a lot of work but it is so aesthetic, great work.

[@flohfantasy560]

This is the first aestehtic organization I have seen which maybe makes sense for me to execute if I ever get tired of my organization now ^^

[@100sleeplessnights5]

the aesthetic is definitely on point, kudos for that

[@lostinmyimagination7485]

Love love love this. The skulls were probably my favorite decor but it's all beautiful. Wrapping the books really worked.

[@kindletrapper33]

what a good idea definitely doing this when i get the chance, it’ll definitely be time consuming

[@thelibrarianfox]

I love the shelves!

[@moviegirlkatie]

Very Cool! the books almost looked gold now that they are wrapped.

[@ttowne0523]

I love it! Very creative!

[@writingmadness4553]

I absolutely love your room aesthetic!

[@Spectrum_Ark]

13:00 wow!

[@thepagesofsamantha]

I didn't really know how it would turn out but WOW they look so gorgeous!

[@ohmybeautifulidiot]

Your patients was totally worth it, it looks absolutely amazing.

[@moonbook12]

Your new shelf look amazing (even better than the rainbow in my opinion , I think it look like your style)

[@moonlitproductions7182]

I had a large shelf, I didn’t have a ‘book’ shelf. Over the year of the pandemic, I thrifted and bought, collected, received over 60 new books, they are overflowing with no home. Your reveal result is what I want to achieve!

[@mlfranca2047]

ugh goals.

[@lostinmyimagination7485]

Love it. It was so creative.

[@books_and_ki]

You've worked so hard on this! 😲

[@silviagarciadincuff2653]

I love it!! Great idea

[@regalleaves4064]

Oh my gosh this is stunning 😍

[@HardbackHoarder]

Thank you so much!!

[@KittyAndTheBooks]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@HardbackHoarder]

Thank you! 😊

[@alilbitmads]

this is so cool!! i have been kind of annoyed with my shelves too! def thinking about moving them around and taking inspiration from what you did here!

[@pawspagesandpurrs]

The shelves look awesome!!

[@HardbackHoarder]

Thank you!!

[@solinelgonzalez8312]

Loved it. It looks so f***ing beautiful.

[@thegreylionessreads2230]

I loved this!

[@middlehermana]

Okay I would never do this because I wouldn’t be able to put up with wrapping my books (I’m too impatient haha) BUT I LOVE HOW THIS LOOKS! It’s my dream bookshelf! ✨

[@Jen-fantasyandfiction]

I love it!

[@mackwallace194]

This is a great idea I’ve been looking for a way to make my newer books blend with my Victorian era books! Definitely love the idea of doing the ratings too

[@vanessa3550]

I'm glad I found this video. I probably wouldn't do the wrapping for all my books, but there are a few where the covers are just so ugly I kept thinking about doing dust jackets myself. This is a far easier solution than to design dust jackets myself (considering I know nothing about design.)

[@carleylutheran3131]

I love your bookshelves!! I absolutely love the antique asthetic that it has and your decoration is amazing! I would love if you made a video saying where you got some of your decorations because they look so cool!💖

[@HardbackHoarder]

they are mostly thrifted or from yard sales since those are the best way to find antique stuff. some of it is from the halloween decor at micheals lol

[@MeghanReads]

Love this! I wrapped my books for a while to make the shel es more subdued and vintage And it looks great with your halloween decorations!! I hope you enjoy it. Its a huge departure from rainbow shelves! (And looks good with plants)

[@leonagonzales2549]

Love early spooky season lol! Love the turned around book look! Happy fall Allie! 😁 great job on the book shelf work looks great!

[@HardbackHoarder]

Thank you! You too!

[@loukiaaydag935]

This was amazing. I can see it took a lot of work, but it seems worth it. It gives me dark academia/Edgar Allan Poe Gothic Horror/creepy fall vibes and I really love it

[@snowdropdreams8154]

Love it!

[@meljstephan]

Looks nice!

[@alexandraroselyn]

oh my god I love it so much..😧

[@rocio9863]

It looks beautiful, great job 😍🙂

[@HardbackHoarder]

Thank you! 😊

[@mishelly]

Yes! Omg! I thought about doing this because some covers are so ugly! Lol 😂 or just clash with other books on the shelf where they should go! Wow it looks amazing! Super cozy!

[@kimberlygeer9212]

I fucking love this 😭 I wish books only came in these colors tbh. it matches my apartment way better 👻🍂🥀
