So we needed an affordable storage solution for our basement.. you may have noticed that I love Ikea, especially the Billy bookcases.. so when we were refinishing our basement I searched and searched for what I ultimately created and the comparables were over $300 a piece. In total our Billy bookcase makeover was under $130.. $40 for the bookcase, $30 for each door, $16 each for the hardware and the crown moulding trim my carpenter did for free. I am so happy with how they turned out.
Have a look..
We used the Billy Bookcase as a base.
Ikea Oxberg Door and we just installed our own hardware.
Restoration Hardware Utility latches gave it the bookcases a more custom look.
And lastly to complete the look.. we had our contractor add custom crown to trim out the moulding.
Thanks for looking today!
