Hear me out with the switch…. Cut a hole in the back of the bookshelf right where the switch is and then place a front facing fake book in front of it so you can open the cover and turn on the switch, it would be so super cook and you could build a little fairy house inside of the fake book too 🥹

Every book girlie's dream is to have a dream home library! I want one when I get a home!

[littlewanderer]

You can get extensions for the tops of the Billy bookcases, I love them, I have really high ceilings so I have two extensions. Makes it look seamless

[lilacprincess]

Maybe do a few floating shelves above the light switch! Some light wooden ones would look so nice and bring in some warmth 🫶🏼

RACHEL this is the DREAM! I'm sooo in LOVE! It looks amazing! Can't wait to see the room when its done, its going to be sooo cozy!

[kaitlynbuquoi]

Just a heads up that you can also add in the extensions on top of the Billy's for extra space when/if you run out of space. They also have the option to add in a single shelf too!

Definitely screamed when this video came up!!! Love you bestie Racheal ❤️

[Sabrina-krkf]

looks so good! I agree, very satisfying having all the books in the house together

[ecr.]

There could be a narrow 3-shelf under the light switch and where the TBR cart resides. Or one of those book column shelf that you stack the books and it looks invisible; the light switch can still be accessible if you stack the books appropriately. I also agree with the extensions; you can add them later in the future. But the crochet bee is cute! Enjoyed the video and wishing you the best in your new home 🙏💛.

this is the best thing I’ve seen today 🥹 getting bookshelves like this and organizing them IS the dream of every reader and watching you living that dream made me super happppy ❤ ayyy I’m so happy for you!

[miiiiaaah]

This has been my most anticipated video of this year

[graceelainee]

Hey Rachel!
Absolutely love your content its so relaxing!!!
your library room is actual goals!
Just wanted to mention, a ZZ plant is extremely easy to look after! they like being neglected just if you are looking for an easy-to-look-after plant. Peace lilies are also super easy to care for because they droop when they are thirsty.

i really love the fact she did it all herself like the bookshelves 😄💗💗💗💗💗💗

[iammellbell]

The finished product looks so good!!! I loe seeing Liam's books there too. I am keen to see how you continue to rearrange and grow your book collection over time :) I am totally the same with finishing organising my bookshelf then 1 hour later I'm rearranging again :P it just gives such good vibes!

[cupcake]

I would SO love to have a library like that for my books! Rachel, it looks absolutely beautiful!!! 😍

[nessareads]

try getting book stands for the books you want to display the front of! it helps keep them closed if they’re paperbacks

[mildrumpus]

I discovered your channel through this video. The library looks GREAT. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍

[jos_targaryen]

aaaa girl! this is so beautiful 🤍 I’ve been watching some book tours in preparation for my IKEA shelves I’m getting for my birthday and this helped me map my location/set up so much!!

[JenevaGriffin]

I absolutely love it!! Floating shelves above the TBR cart would be cool. Or like you said, art.

[SilverFlamesLibrary]

They look so good! I love the disco ball on that top shelf, such a unique idea that I don’t think I’ve seen before
