Billy Bookcase Hack-Arched European Inspired Cabinet With Fluted Doors

preview

Skip to contentThis Ikea hack is going to blow your mind! Remember that blank wall in my family room and the Billy Bookcases I painted to fill that blank wall? I turned them into a European-inspired arched cabinet with fluted doors. I’m a smitten kitten and it could be my favorite DIY yet!Just a recap from the original post. I bought 3 Billy Bookcases from Ikea and painted the glass doors with Stix primer. Our Ikea stores in the US don’t have plain panel doors, otherwise, I would have saved myself that time. I had a lot of questions about that. I then applied 2-3 coats of Sherwin-Williams Realistic Beige. I also made leather pulls and added baskets from Target to the top.This is the before. An expansive, empty wall with a clear lack of purpose.This is what the Billy Bookcases looked like once they were put together.And the during. You can see I have one done and working on priming the rest of the doors.All in all, it was a good 3-4 days which included drying time.Tada! The hard work paid off but I kept feeling like it was missing something. I wanted it to feel like a statement piece and it didn’t.Then I saw Pole Wrap and knew the perfect place for it, this cabinet. But I didn’t want to overdo it, so I came up with a plan to create arches on the top. FYI-Pole Wrap is in most of your home improvement stores. It’s meant to wrap your basement poles but as you can see it’s ideal for many other projects as well. I found mine on an end cap in the molding aisle.It’s best to take off your doors to apply. There is a seam because this product is folded. So laying flat with pressure is best. Be sure to use a strong adhesive.I created a template from oak tag and traced arches on each door. Be sure to mirror each unit. Tip, when taping around the arch make fringe-like cuts on the inside, it will bend better. Also, use caulk on the edge so the paint doesn’t bleed through. On the inside of the arches, I used Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige.And here is the finished piece-my DIY Arched cabinet! It was so simple, anyone can do this project!There has been a lot of questions about the inside. Cabinet 1 is for my staging items, 2 is for books and 3 is for games.What do you think?Here is a different shot decorated for the holidays. You can find the mini spruce HERE.Have a happy day friends!Hi there friends! I am back to share more about the Better Homes &amp; Gardens makeover I revealed a few weeks ago, which is also in the October issue.

There was such a strong connection to this family and the people I worked with that I knew I had to get this right.Happy Thursday!
