The classic bookshelf experience. First you put together the bookshelf wrong. Then you don't have enough space on your bookshelf for all your books. And finally you have to organize other pieces of furniture to accommodate the excess books.

I had to unmount 7 shelves from the walls because I put them up too far apart and forgot I had more shelves, I built an entire cabinet with the pieces facing the wrong and only realized it after I was done and had to put the doors in the hinges...don't feel bad. Welcome to the nightmare of bookshelves and a hug to your momma for getting those shelves. Hope she has a great Mothers Day.

I’ve always loved books and collected a good bit over the years (no bookshelf growing up cause, POOR duh😂). But once I got my own place and had a built in book shelf, I felt so complete after seeing everything neatly put there! It made me so happy watching this. It reminded me of that, new library feeling. And a nice little secret, the feeling never goes away! Whenever I see the shelves full of books in my bedroom or office I still get giddy inside 😊🫶🏾❤️ hope you enjoy building your collection up!

Mama Day by Gloria Naylor. It is one of my favorite books. I must have read it at least twenty times easy. It switches back and forth between the main character, Mama Day, who is my favorite character of all time, and her grandniece Cocoa. Mama Day hails from an island culture steeped in Gullah culture. She is a midwife, healer and the daughter of a seventh son of a seventh son. There is hoodoo, voodoo, laughter, gut wretching drama. And it’s a love story. It is a work of art. I hope it makes it to your list. Abrazos! 🇵🇷

I put the backboard backwards once too and i just, ripped it out lol usually it not very noticeable if you do it carefully cuz the holes will be around and not seen inside the bookshelf. As for the top you put backwards a great tip is to paint it over if you have any similar color, you can buy the small tubes artists use to pain canvases rather than house paint too so its cheaper, that'll make the shelf stand out less
