My Ikea Billy hack started and stopped when I tried to paint the backs without priming them and then all the paint peeled off, the backs swelled up, and would no longer fit into the grooves. So I got rid of them which does look like a choice but it's my secret shame. This is very inspiring! May I recommend Alexandra Gater's YouTube channel? She does many Ikea hacks: https://www.youtube.com/alexandragater

The wall shelves are truly so easy! As long as you have a drill, a level, and strong brackets, you’re in business.
