I’ve always wanted a home library, but didn’t think I’d have space for one while renting. But after I cleared out the second bedroom in my apartment, I was left with two basic Amazon bookcases that would make the perfect home for my books and collected items. In this video, I combine the two bookcases to look like one antique-inspired shelf. And the best part— it’s renter-friendly!
