For Tutorial Tuesday, I thought I’d share some of the great instructional posts I’ve seen about making or redoing your own bookcases.
I’ll start with Ashli from Maillardville Manor. This is a girl after my own heart! Books galore – and some really terrific bookcases to hold them.
Jessie from Imperfectly Polished actually made built-ins from scratch! That’s a bit beyond me at the moment, so my hat is most definitely off to her!
My favorite, though, might well be the wall of built ins by Kate at Centsational Girl. The attention to detail is terrific. This looks like such a high end built in, but it’s actually the lowly Billy!
Here’s to hoping that my bookcases turn out even half as well!

I’d really love to see your comments on the projects I do and the ideas I have. I learn more from critiques than praise, but, honestly, I adore praise (and who doesn’t?).
Thanks for stopping by.
I think I’m going to ask my boyfriend for a built bookshelf for Christmas.
What a terrific present that would be!
I might have to do some begging – but he’s so industrious. I’ll have to find a design I really love – some of the ones you have up there are GORGEOUS. I have to make space for more books.
We both know that the space won’t last that long, right? There’s NEVER enough space for books. Or enough books, really.
Seriously. That’s why you have to decorate your whole house in books.
I’m trying to figure out how to fit a small case in the bathroom… for those really long, hot baths!
You had me at baths! What a fantastic idea, you could stack towels, soaps and books.
Don’t forget the chocolate and/or white wine!
