Hello, here is the breakdown of our totally affordable and easy bookcases!
This is a pure IKEA creation which means you, wherever you are, can do it and afford it!
Billy Bookcase in white: $69.99/ 395 kr *
Benno DVD/CD Tower in white: $39.99 /249 kr *
Total: $299.94 + tax / 1786 kr
We started with two Benno DVD towers. This is how it looked with just two:
I think the key point to these is decorating them. I mean I am no professional decorator but if you compare the picture above with the one below you can see how added knick-knacks and basically filling out the shelves elevates them above basic white IKEA bookcases.
I am constantly changing the shelves, with the addition of new books (thanks Pal and Grandma!), seasons, and things from the china cabinet. I like that it is a permanent place in the house but with a few tweaks it can be refreshed.
And yes on the top right shelf there is a picture of James Hetfield, I am sure you can guess which family member contributed that piece to the bookshelves!

Awesome, I had no idea these were set up like this, I relaly thought they were built in shelves! I love them!
Thank you for this! I have honestly been thinking about your bookshelves a lot since you posted them and wondering how I can do something similar here
