New bookshelves

I had some old, falling apart bookshelves against the back wall of the living room that I wanted to replace. I wanted shelves with glass doors to cut down the dust, but I was on a budget, so I couldn't get anything too fancy. My family had kindly given me some Ikea vouchers for my birthday, so I went with the Ikea Billy bookcase option.

First I dragged dad down to Ikea with the station wagon, and he helped me pick up the shelves. Then I assembled the shelves and drilled holes to fix them to the wall.

Once the shelves were attached to the wall, I put the doors on, then put the adjustable shelves in position.

It was all pretty straight forward, but a lot of work, especially putting the hinges onto the doors. I am happy with the result though.
