And you know if you keep house for very long that you’ll end up with more decorative items than you’ll know what to do with. These built in shelves could help you with that.

This is quite the steal! Did you ever imagine that you could build 7 foot tall bookshelves for only $60? Well, according to this site, it might be a possibility. Granted, your supplies’ cost may vary a little.
However, these bookshelves are large and beautiful. They would make a great addition to most any home.
128. Built-in Book Cases
I love these book cases. They remind me of a childhood friend of mine. Her house was beautiful, and they had large built in book cases that surrounded their fireplace.
So in my opinion, this is a gorgeous storage solution for books or anything else that you’d use these book cases for.
129. The Classic Walnut Book Case
This classic style book case is one that has proven itself functional for as long as most anyone can remember. It is one of the traditional styles of book cases.

130. Large Cubby Bookshelf
Cubby bookshelves are great for a little different areas of the home or office. They make great places to store decorative treasures in your entry way at your home.

131. The IKEA Hack
Okay, everybody get ready for a huge ‘gasp.’ My daily confession is that I have never been to an IKEA store! I know, I’m living under a rock or something, right?
Well, after seeing this bookshelf, it’s making me really want to drive the hours and hours that it takes to get to the nearest IKEA store. The way they were able to take this piece of furniture and make it a dual function piece of furniture is really creative.

133. DIY Built in Book Case Tutorial

However, what is ultimately the icing on the cake is the fact that these bookshelves are absolutely beautiful and functional too.
134. The Hanging Book Display
This would be a great idea for small children or someone that has a harder time getting in and out of the bed.
So I love this because it makes reading at night so easy. Plus, the tutorial appears rather straight forward with nothing overly complicated about building this.
135. Rain Gutter Bookshelves
I love these bookshelves. I actually have them in two of my children’s rooms. They work wonderfully and are super easy to install.
And I can take it one step further, I actually used this exact tutorial when putting them up in our boys’ rooms. So if I can do this project, I’d say it’s safe to say that most other people can too.
136. The Low-Waste DIY Bookshelf
If you are a minimalist type of person, then you are probably going to love this bookshelf. The reason is that they claim it has only around 1% waste in the whole project.
Plus, it requires very few tools and should only cost your around $60. Granted, the price of supplies could have increased since this post.

So I think what stands out most is the leather straps that hold this beautiful shelf up. It would definitely give you a unique feel for any area it is hanging in.
139. The DIY Book Case
This book case is another built in option. It is absolutely stunning. If you read the tutorial you will see that because of how hectic the author’s life had been (I can totally relate! Can you?) it took her years to complete this project.
However, I think she did a great job at putting a tutorial together for her readers. And after seeing how beautiful it turned out, I’d say it was worth the wait.
140. The Inverted DIY Bookshelf
This is a really cool idea. I’m not sure how well it would work for you if you have a ton of books that need to be stored.
