I stacked them all on top of each other securing them to each other AND studs in the wall. Our ceilings are 9 ft tall so I grabbed 2 of the original Billy bookcases and 4 of the extensions packs. I’ve always wanted to try it and I was scared, but it really is as easy as it looks. I’m sure you all have seen Billy Bookcase hacks before on Pinterest. Ok, so when I say built, I had a little help from Ikea. The upstairs hallway seemed like the perfect spot for this, right outside our bedroom door.

is pretty great) but having my very own floor to ceiling library where I whipped back and forth on the ladder, it seemed like the best idea ever!Īnd so I finally have made all my childhood dreams come true (ok well not all of them, I still really want a hover board like Michael J Fox had in Back to the Future, but I’ll keep waiting patiently on that one) and built my very own library complete with sliding ladder. Yeah, that was my dream when I was little, not the marrying the prince part (although the Mr. You know that scene in Beauty in the Beast where Belle discovers the library? There are a gazillion books from floor to ceiling and she goes flying around on the ladder checking them all out. My mom always made a point of bringing us to the library when we were kids just like her mom used to bring her. I pretty much always have a book stashed in my glove box, purse, night stand, back pocket, it’s a must for me.

Like, I have an at least 2 books a week habit, sometimes 3 depending.
