faking built-in bookshelves from shelterpop

by fh_rachel on SEPTEMBER 14, 2010

I loved this article today on Shelterpop about how to fake built-ins using the Billy bookcase from IKEA.

The homeowner, Rebecca Orlov, put four Billy bookcases together, removed the backs and filled them with books and accents to make them look built in. And look at that: A bike in the living room!

Smart DIY for not a lot of money.

What’s been your best IKEA hack project?
