Brilliant IKEA Billy Bookcase Hacks

Brilliant IKEA Billy Bookcase Hacks that will inspire you to create your own Library, Reading Nook, Closet Space and so much more.

Come and explore all the different creations that are possible when you get the right combination of these bookshelves for your needs.  You can literally customize a piece that would cost 1000’s and 1000’s in the store. You can paint these beauties… paint, stencil or even wallpaper the backs for extra pop (removable wallpaper would be perfect because if you get tired of it… you can change it up in a snap). The combinations are limitless and here are just a few possibilities.  Enjoy my friends!
