Welcome to Litsy!

Hello friends!
A month or two in, and we've made some progress on the home library. IKEA Billys (and extenders!) were assembled, original bookcases were donated to loving homes, paint was ordered, and additional trim supplies were purchased. Wekends never seem long enough, and we've had to juggle complete dedication to this project with errands and prior commitments, but we're getting closer to me knowing, with certainty, where my books are 😁

We are bidding farewell to the old shelves... and entering our Billy era.

Walking around IKEA trying to read the books.
I don't even speak Swedish

Disclaimer : I found it like this

I lowkey actually enjoy walking around IKEA

I think we'll call this finished....for now.

Progress!!! This is all kids books.

Touch up done. Top unit added. Anchored the two tall units to the wall because my 2 year old will try to climb. Doors will go in the unit below the TV for DVD storage. It will be mostly kid books out here.

It's underway. Touch up the wall, anchor the units, add a shelf across the top, then rearrange books.

Because...books

I haven‘t had much reading time recently because I became a homeowner! One of my dreams is having my own library, and it‘s coming together!!

Yes yes and yes 🙌🏽😝📖😋

Have not been reading much, been on Ikea's site a LOT lately.
Need a new #bookcase 😄 and tall clothes rack/storage. My issue is lack of wall space; I think this slim 16“ wide Billy bookcase is the easiest fix?
Currently have a 30“ bookcase, but need to downgrade in width for the clothing storage.
Thoughts and experience welcome on skinny/vertical book storage.

My mother-in-law just sent this to me. 😂😂🤣

Is there anything more inspiring than bookshelves waiting to be filled? 😍

I was building this for records not for books. First time ever with an IKEA product there was a screw missing from the hardware pack.Wrote to them , hoping for a replacement.On the positive, it‘s cool and it rained here in Az. Happy about that!Slowing down my books/records reorganization though.🤗😐

Mr. JSW and I went to ikea yesterday and put together a new bed frame. I‘m pleased to report that we intend to stay married.

Those IKEA instructions are not the easiest to follow....

It's that time again 😁 Time for a new bookshelf. This time it's only a narrow Billy shelf. I'm seriously running out of free wall space. Damn you, many windows that make my appartment so light XD

When I run out of #space, I start doubling up the shelves. And this photo is from the spring, so there are even more stacks now 🙄#30daysofreadathon

I love a good catalog. Is it too early to make a Christmas list?

It's here!!! #ikeaporn

#currentlyreading #obsessed

A few years ago, I did some major Marie Kondoing and purged a lot of books. (For the most part, few regrets.) So these - in their IKEA-shelved glory - are the books that bring me joy. 😃

IKEA children's books does it again!

I think all descriptions on the back of books should finish with "how will it all end".

DAY 2: #whereiread #riotgrams

I do a lot of reading in this chair while my little dudes make messes. 💚💚💚 My other typical reading spots: bed, tub, stairclimber.

Here's a pre #shelfie while someone helped me put it together. #riotgram #catsoflitsy

#funfridayphoto #shelfie Our overwhelmed bookshelves. There are a few more--one houses craft/nature/gardening books, and younger son has two full low bookshelves in his room.
