About This Project

I decided to start with the most simple design I could for my first build. I've always wanted some big, ginormous bookcases and these seemed to fit the bill. I was surprised with how difficult it was to work with the thick 2x12 boards, but all in all I'm really happy with the results. I did modify the dimensions to make them not as wide, making the width of the shelves only 31".

From Plan: 
IKEA Lack inspired bookcase
Estimated Cost: 
$150 for both (wood, polyurethane, screws, and leftover paint)
Estimated Time Investment: 
Day Project (6-9 Hours)
Required Skill Level: 
Beginner
Type of Wood: 
cheapest 2x12 at Lowe's...whatever those are. :)
Finish Used: 
We had leftover chocolate brown paint from an accent wall, so I sanded (all by hand as our sander went kaput in the beginning) and added 2 coats of Valspar eggshell brown paint. Covered with 2 coats of Minwax polyurethane for more shine.
