I love how you've extended the bookshelves up to the cornice moulding but especially the way you've painted and stenciled the beam and the ceiling- really EXCEPTIONAL Work!
That looks incredible! Me and my girlfriend are in the process of looking at houses so the dream of a dedicated room for a home library might actually happen. These videos gave us alot of inspiration. Hope to see more updates in the future!
I love how the stenciling with traces of gold foil turned out! What a great idea to have a display cabinet that lights up! I love how your Library looks, I think it's amazing! I also enjoy the starry night theme on the ceiling and just may do something with the stars on the ceiling if I ever have a Library of my own. Congratulations on building your dream Library!
Yes! You did it and it is so amazing! You have the most amazing home library that I have ever seen. Good job. WOW I sure hope you don't ever have to move.
You did a fantastic job on that library! I love the medeival/renaissance hand painted details. My wife & I are renovating/rebuilding our 100 y/o house room by room. Just one suggestion, early on I learned to have an exhaust fan in the window whenever sanding/taking down plaster. If you have to do lots of sanding again, just a simple box fan in the window, blowing air to the outside, makes a HUGE difference in reducing dust in the room. Keep up the great work!
Looks fab! Truly a Herculean effort! I got tennis elbow from stenciling a 14” weeping Willow under my dining room ceiling mounding, on a ladder. It was beautiful.
Stunning. I absolutely love it. I turned my living room into a library/study. Charles Dickens' study was my inspiration. I also have a beautiful brick fireplace in the room which gives it special ambience. I chose to add several large china cabinets for books and a few curio cabinets to display other things. I have my computer and desk setup in the room as well. I then turned my dining room into a living room, my kitchen into a dining room, and my great room into a large "free-standing" kitchen. Lots of moving furniture around and I had to have the kitchen cabinets taken out. But I had to have a study/library. Everyone should, I'm sure you'll agree. Great job. 😃👍
This is absolutely amazing and beautiful! I know how much you have wanted to create this room and to see it mostly complete is something to be happy and proud of. Love your passion for creating such a magical room!
What a beautiful space you have created! I especially love the gold leaf highlights on the ceiling and beam. Fantastic detail. Libraries are among my very favorite places. Having this one right in your home - and it’s your creation - is wonderful. Congratulations!
Love that your sponsor is a friend. Not having a corporate sponsor is so rare. ❤️ Helen. Future self, sorry that y’all had to self-isolate. I was lucky and never got it, even though my husband did.
So worth it!! Your library is beautiful and perfectly individual 📚 📕 🌟 🐿 and you’ve learnt loads 👍🏼 ironically I found your video while planning my own (very small) library refurbishment, while recovering from covid…. Congratulations and thanks for lots of inspiration xx
Great job, Jess. I always wanted a Henry Higgins library and built one when I did up my last house. Sadly I didn't do the research and got the colours all wrong and didn't really have a good plan at the beginning. So though I had the floor-to-ceiling bookcases, they were still stuffed too full of books and the couch was too big and it was never really satisfying. Yours is gorgeous and you did everything right.
Your library is awesome!!!! Appreciate too your final thoughts about teaching yourself things and the hard learning curve. I have tons of ideas but when I try them, they don't work or it is harder than I thought and I give up or don't even try. You have given me the encouragement to try. Thank you.
Wow! What an amazing room you have created! Congratulations on completing such a beautiful project. You did a wonderful job, and the patience you displayed was mind-blowing. One day, when I get around to dedicating an area for a library in my own home, I will certainly use what you've done as an inspiration.
I'm currently fantasizing about having a house and a library and this is so inspiring! I love the ceiling, and I was worried that my Billy bookshelves would never look like "proper" library bookshelves but now I know they can! 📚✨
I haven't come across anyone being so so real and so so simple and extremely polite on internet the best part of the video was the moment you were proud of the outcome and I wish you all the very best, I'll always pray for you, stay happy forever ❤ Love from India ❤ 🇮🇳
Especially love the Harry Potter memorabilia. I've been looking for inspiration on how to my very small (but eventually growing) collection and got some ideas. Thanks!
My husband and I just bought our first home and this video gave me such inspiration! Instead of the Billy bookcases, we are going to build our own built-in shelves using pine. Then I'll either stain or paint them (haven't decided yet!). But just wanted to say I loved your video and channel!!! Beautiful work and craftsmanship. I am so impressed with the beam work and ornate detail. So awesome!
If I did it again, I’d build my own shelves rather than do the Billys. It was actually the other option I was weighing up, but I would have needed my husband’s help and he had too busy a schedule at the time. Maybe I’ll upgrade one day! Thank you for watching and for the kind comment. 🤓
Great job with the room. I have a bedroom in our new place that will become an office/library space and I hope I can do as good of a job as you did here to make it a comfortable and inspiring place to work and relax/read.
Great job! That took lots of patience . I collect Magic books and this has inspired me to update my library. Thank you and keep posting this great content .
Your library is so incredibly beautiful. It inspired me a lot and I’m so happy for you. And… are you a librarian? You sure look like someone who would be a librarian at Hogwarts.
I had been looking up videos about making built-in shelving units because I'm working on a design for my "office" in our home. So many of what I saw were by men who had an extreme number of big tools more than me, and their videos were just oozing with the wrong kind of masculine vibe for me to really learn from. Then RUclips showed me this video. ... And the skies parted and the angels sang .... (especially when I saw the bit about the Sky Buckets at Disneyland; I grew up making a grand circle tour of the "Mountain" coasters and used the Sky Buckets to move from one end to the other frequently). Now to go back through the rest of your videos to see what I missed so far... Thank you!
Glad to provide some inspiration. One thing I would say in hindsight is don’t try to varnish these bookcases the way I did. If you want to change the colour, perhaps painting would work, but don’t follow my lead in that one particular area! Best of luck!
It all looks so good! I love how you detailed the beam. I am totally going to steal your idea, because we have one in the center in our manufactured home that is ugly, but now I can spruce it up!
this is one of my favorite videos on this site!!! So wonderful, loved seeing the whole process! the sheer dedication and creativity you have is so inspiring
More ideas for your lovely channel ❤️ : 1- DIY vintage/aesthetic bookmarks . 2- how to deal with read blocks . 3- poorly written novels not to waste our time/money on . 4- setting up/ upgrading your reading corner . 5- websites selling books and best online stores / tips to get cheaper books .
✨Wow✨wow wow it’s Beautiful!! The way you decorated the beam was GENIUS 🪄 the design is wonderful. Love the colours, ceiling STARS!!, bookcases- literally everything. Tell me you’re going to get a big velvet armchair in forest green or salmon or russet? And a beautiful reading lamp? It’s just so wonderful and your husband is The Man 🙌🏼 We need more of your beautiful singing voice and he played so very beautifully in the previous vlog - more please! Thank you for this joy, I’m a very happy new subscriber- Rachel Maksy and Cherry Wallis need to see this 😁🦋💕🦉🍂🌑👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you! That’s very kind. I do have a reading chair in there but am hunting for a bigger, comfier one. I found a beautiful Chesterfield style one a while back, but my husband and I decided it was better in our living room, so the hunt continues! Considering a chaise lounge if I can find one that fits… A proper, statement reading light is a great idea! The lighting in that room has been a struggle to be honest. P. S. I watch both Rachel and Cherry, so that’s really sweet of you to say!
I had a library once. What would I do differently? I would put glass doors on all my bookcases. A library room is a beautiful room to have and you have done a lovely job.
The reason your wooden floor had such big gaps is that it isn't flooring. It's subflooring. By the 1930s, sub flooring with wall to wall was normal. No more hardwood flooring. Helen is a gem, you lucky soul. Now look for a decorative wood beading to stain and apply to the front edges of the Billys to make them look more custom. Place looks great.
Great inspiration! Luckily I have a library going back to when I used to earn a few quid a few years ago but my two daughters are both going to want to pinch some of your ideas (especially the Harry Potter cabinet) and hopefully end up with something close to what you’ve achieved. I really enjoyed sharing your journey. I’m off a read a book now.
Very inspiring. I started a similar project in the beginning of the year. I have to remove the wallpaper, refinish the walls and then comes the painting and building. I have taken en break over the summer, but I still hope to finish my library in 2021. Even with a maximum daily work time of two hours that should be doable. I have been thinking about doing something similar to your ceiling choice in my bedroom, so it is great to know that foiling is easier then painting. I will probably make a different kind of stencil a plastik one which can be used to paint through.
@@SquirrellyNerdyJess I have branched out from reading and watching to making in the last 5ish years. I learned a few practical things and have some great tool at hand now.
This is an amazing library! You did an AWESOME job! I love everything about it. Special love for all the Houdini posters and merch. Very very very nice! Congratulations!
Absolutely stunning! It's absolutely gorgeous. I did some stenciling in my hallway and it just takes sooooo long! Kudos to you, it turned out amazing xx
Incredible! Just binged this series and saving it for my own home inspiration one day ♡ also the fact your bookish content includes bookrepairing has me hitting subscribe! Im looking forward to your new videos (but right now i gots to watch all your previous videos) ♡
what an amazing library! i love the idea of a starry sky ceiling and you executed it well, along with all the decorations! think the only thing i'd add is a bookshelf door or hidden compartment. always great to find people with similar bookish dreams :)
Thank you! Didn’t have the room for the bookshelf door in this one, but my husband has promised when we eventually extend the house, I will get my secret passageway! 😉
And then one day, my dear, you find yourself nearing the end of your road, Surrounded by all the treasures of your life you wonder, what's next. How serendipitous discovering you, Age has caused me to give up books, now it's a Kindle. (Font size and ease of reading) - It's good/fun being Squirly.
I almost cried when I saw the reveal.. you've made SUCH an amazing space and damn I'm jelly =p Would love to create something similar in a future home..... one day 😉 💚💚💚
Amazing dedication, concept, and execution! Thank you! I’ve watched the whole evolution and now I’m making my own library. One difference is that I am having a carpenter build built-in bookshelves. I will also use a shade of green paint for the walls. I’m puzzling over whether to keep the shelves the color of the wood, or to paint them the color of the walls. Any thoughts?
Ooh fun! Yeah, one day I’m going to upgrade to proper wooden shelves, probably constructed with help from my husband, but that’s the best I could do at the time. As far as the colour, it really depends on if you prefer a fully built-in look or if you want the flexibility of keeping them wood. Both can look lovely! And thanks for watching.
@@SquirrellyNerdyJess Thanks, I have to decide soon, as I’ve just moved in, the whole house is being painted, and it’s the ideal time both to build and to paint, if desired. Leaning toward wood….
Hi, just saw your video, Dec. 2022. Great job!, you probably got some idea how Michelangelo felt when he painted his famous work of art, on a slightly larger scale though. Hope your still enjoying it!!
This is so inspirational! ☺️ I love your amazing eye for creating such an imaginative and fun space! I can’t wait to see how the books are organized! How did you not get overwhelmed by all the projects? What was the most useful source for your home renovations? When you see a space to renovate or decorate, how do you start deciding how to organize?
