Comments on: IKEA Bookshelves Get A Facelift https://jennykomenda.com/2008/11/ikea-bookshelves-get-facelif.html/ Mon, 18 May 2015 17:06:25 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.0 By: ter@waaoms https://jennykomenda.com/2008/11/ikea-bookshelves-get-facelif.html/comment-page-1/#comment-230079 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 02:00:50 +0000 https://jennykomenda.com/2008/11/12/ikea-bookshelves-get-facelif/#comment-230079 This is exactly what I've been envisioning for my living room corner (except with espresso color shelves) I never would have thought about the crown molding, so I am going to totally bookmark this and hope I remember about it when I finally find some shelves (we don't have an ikea here – yet – and the shipping fee is too high to make it worthwhile). Thanks so much for this post. I'm going to look through your blog for more ideas.

as for me, i ended up painting onto the BACK of the back piece (like, straight onto the cardboard). it turned out okay, but you can see the seams a bit, which i don't love (and, consequently, i'm trying to cover the seams with books and such on the shelves).

looks great–i love the touch of molding.

I need to put bookshelves in the corner but need an inexpensive alternative. This is it! Will you please explain how you did the two cases in the corner to look like corner pieces? Did you butt them up to each other with a space in the corner or something else? I can not tell from the pictures. Thanks. Please email is: alysawhitlock@yahoo.com. I'm adding you to my "creative blogs that I love"
