Ever wanted to get that builtin bookshelves look without the crazy price tag? This DIY builtin bookcase IKEA hack was the perfect home office makeover project for my music studio.

In this video I'll walk you through the indepth stepbystep process of how we hacked these IKEA Billy bookcases to totally transform this boxy white room. These builtins have made a massive difference in my home office space and this is probably my favorite project I've ever done!
