DIY Bookshelves

May 11, 2011 by Chris

Billy Bookcases DIY

March 20, 2012 by Chris

Built-in Billy bookcases are certainly not a new concept, but I never felt like the directions were close enough to what I needed. Enter my friend Kate.

The extenders are only available on the 11” depth, so the decision … [Read more...]
