{This Old House…Ikea Hack?}

Can you believe it?  This Old House did an Ikea Hack with Ikea’s Billy bookcases!  This is a great tutorial for all of you who need a visual on removing the baseboards, using the Dremel to cleanly cut the baseboards, connecting the bookcases together with screws, and adding base molding and crown. 

I do not take any credit for any of this…but it is a great tutorial/video that anyone can follow.

  1. so timely since we just had to solve this problem. Since we are renters we came up with a way to attach the shelves to the wall like a picture and keeps them earthquake safe and keeps our landlord happy.
