When I get a house, I want to have built in shelves with a ladder. I will need to have bookshelves covering all of the walls. I currently have a library in my apartment & a library a in my old room at my parent's house. The books I have read/don't plan on reading anytime soon are stored at my parent's & my TBR books are at my apartment.
Your room looks so lovely & cosy. You’re so lucky to have your stepdad who obviously loves you enough to spend his time making you such a big bookcase & ladder 😀 Sometimes people need to mind their own beeswax, If you want a ladder (if the rooms big enough or not) then you do you boo! It’s a free world after all 😀
Such a beautiful makeover! The rug is so pretty! I need to go to yard sales - I totally want old phones to decorate my room! All of your diy skills amaze me!
I am so goddamn jealous, that's an incredible library. It's so beautiful. And the functionality! The effort! The personality! The creativity! The vision! You could honestly get into interior decoration, I'd straight up pay you your weight in gold for your services if I could. (And yes, as a 6 feetish tall lady, I can confirm, ladders are absolutely a necessity).
I’ve been dying for the Murphy desk, too. I mean, I have no need or space for it but I still want it. Lol. I love how it all came together for you even if I had to cover my eyes at the spider parts.
Hi! This is the first video of yours that I have seen and I am excited to start following your channel! I love your aesthetic and creativity. Also, I relate on the side of being short and actually needing a latter to reach things (although I do not have a latter... yet). But short or not everyone has the right to have a latter in their home libraries! "Am I the envy of my friends? No. They don't care." also super relatable! Not many of my friends like to read, or at least not to the extent that I would like lol.
I love all of it. It is perfection. Re doing both my libraries, particularly the shelves is on my long term to do list. I wish I knew how to build them. If my dad were still alive, he would have done it for me long long ago.
This is genuinely the most beautiful library I've ever seen. I never knew that my aesthetic was dark academia. I'm ordering brown paper because I was recently thinking how can I change my covers cause I don't like them and bam! You're video came up. THANK YOU!!!
I love your library and am envious of how it looks even if your friends are not. I have a library room and would love to have built in bookshelves as that gives more room for more books.
As a total arachnophobe baby, I had to look away from the spiders and shiver a bit. But other than that, this is literally my dream office/library. SO good. But can we talk about YOUR FREAKING BELT???? 🐝 🐝 So cool!
Such a beautiful library. It’s amazing the journey we go through with our books and collection. It takes such a long time to find what works and then I want to change more! 😂 But your collection has always been an inspiration to me. 💙
Love everything, yes a ladder for us short people is a dream, the whole room is so beautiful, except the spiders but only because I’m terrified of them 😆😅 also love the covering your books idea where you write the rating and anything else you want, that’s such a cool idea 😍
im going to make my library starting with my kindle books. many of them will be hardback and a couple im getting leather bound. im starting with 36 books.
Sooo nice! I really like the velvet couch! I’m not through watching your entire video, but at 9:16 (empty space on the wall) would you consider putting a mirror? Even a firefly floor lamp or Turkish style floor lamp would go so well with your style. Anyhow you did an awesome job! ☺️
Oh my god, Ali, this is so pretty. I think that desk set-up is my favorite part (besides the bookshelves lol), that just looks like such a nice work space. If you ever need to change careers, you'd make a bomb interior decorator. Why would people ask why you had that ladder??? The real question is why WOULDN'T you want a library ladder??? (Short girls unite though.)
It was a dark color before and the room doesn't get a lot of natural light so it felt small and I had trouble with filming :( I would loveeeee dark green walls
I love it, Every detail is impressive, it is simply wonderful, it shows that everything you have is carefully thought out. This room is a dream, I want it 😍🥰🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
@@hardbackhoarder Okay thanks, I've just never came across one before and I was like wait, what is that? Love your bookshelf's by the way. glad I'm not the only one with a huge library like yours.
Thank you for sharing your library. Do you know the approximate dimensions of the room? I have a small to medium space to decorate my library/office and I’m trying to see if designing my space would be similar, based on the size of the space. Thanks.
Do you have any recommendations for where to get library bookshelves like yours? I just inherited my Mom's house after she passed away last December from lung cancer and the house needs alot of work. I want to turn the den into a library but have found nowhere that I can get floor to ceiling bookshelves.
for shelves like mine the only recommendation I have is to build them. It's hard to find floor to ceiling since no everyone has the same height walls. I've seen people use IKEA shelves and hack them as if they are floor to ceiling (lots of videos on those). Any shelves you could find could be hacked, but that still requires some building involved.
@@hardbackhoarder Thanks so much for your advice. I've been trying to be careful with money since the pandemic started but I guess it's time to take a trip to Lowes and put in some elbow grease.
@@hardbackhoarder Ok thanks! I've always just used tape and it never stays haha. I'll try nails or command hooks next time! (I want to decorate my shelves for Christmas so I've got to get prepared lol)
PSA that I am hunched for most the video because I didn't know if I was in frame. I am sorry for the second-hand back pain this video may cause 😂 😂 😂
Wow. Wonderful ❤️. Are you a librarian ?😎😎. Have a nice day
This library is the most cozy/aesthetic/beautiful one i've seen on Booktube, i hope i can get mine to look like this one day.
omg thank you!!! ❤️
I love this aesthetic!! I’d love to have such a cozy/witchy inspired library someday. I love that skull and birdcage thing.
As a small person myself I get the ladder.
WE NEED ALL THE HELP WE GET OKAY?
i would die for my library to look like this
Your reading room is so freaking cozy looking. I love that blue couch so much
“Am I the envy of my friends? No. They don’t care.”
i want my library to look like this, it’s so gorgeous 😍
This looks absolutely beautiful, the ladder detail is perfect and I love the color scheme you used, ughh, it's wonderful!
Thank you so much!!

I really love how you did the home library!!! I have been wanting to work on mine but I only get half a room haha
Your library is the dream goal!!!!!
I would spend all my free time in there. It looks so good! I absolutely love the shelves and the blue couch! ☺️
I really rarely leave it to be honest lmao
It’s so pretty😍😍😍 my favorite part is obviously the books but I love the couch and the little wooden stand with all the trinkets on it
As someone who loves Halloween I love the aesthetic of your home library!!!! 🖤 🎃
I'm in love with your home library 🤍🧡
That empty wall would look beautiful with a mirror! Stained wood, brass, or gold!
Whoaaaa your mind!!! YYEESS I love this! I also love the desk and that setup and GAH the whole room, you’ve done an amazing job just wow 😍
oh I would give anything to sign up for Book of The Month, it sounds so amazing, but I don't think it ships to Hongkong so this sucksssssss ugh
I freakin love it!! Library goals! 💕
I love your desk chair. And I work at a woodworking company and you did a great job in the cabinet. Your dad is a very good carpenter
Thank you so much! He is pretty handy!
I love everything about your home library 😍
This is how I want my little home library to be when I have my own little place 🥺❤️

I love your room! I need a ladder. I mean I have one, but it's not a "library ladder".
Wow this is so so gorgeous. I'm low-key jealous.
I love the Ivy. Makes me want to incorporate it on my shelves! Love your space!
I love all of it. It is perfection. Re doing both my libraries, particularly the shelves is on my long term to do list. I wish I knew how to build them. If my dad were still alive, he would have done it for me long long ago.
So beautiful!! Your library is so dreamy!!!
Love, love, love your library
Awesome, young and a good librarian are a perfect combination. Thanks for let us see that wonderful library!
This is genuinely the most beautiful library I've ever seen. I never knew that my aesthetic was dark academia. I'm ordering brown paper because I was recently thinking how can I change my covers cause I don't like them and bam! You're video came up. THANK YOU!!!

But can we talk about YOUR FREAKING BELT???? 🐝 🐝 So cool!
oh nooo! sorry about the spiders! I've seen a few people upset about them so I may have to hide them for videos lmao
Your room looks fantastic! Your stepdad is very talented as well.
Yes he is ❤️ Thank you!
I love your library and your belt.
My eyes have been blessed ✨
I closed my eyes for the spiders.... eek! Everything else? Gorgeous!!
Sooooo cozy i love it!!
Such a beautiful library. It’s amazing the journey we go through with our books and collection. It takes such a long time to find what works and then I want to change more! 😂 But your collection has always been an inspiration to me. 💙
I look back and can't believe how much my collection has changed, it really is a journey. and thank you!!
Both the before and after are amazing! I love both of the design ❤
You could put up a mirror next to the funkos so it would give some dimension to the corner without giving it a crowded feeling
First video I've seen, and I am SOLD. This library is absolutely gorgeous!

I love all the stuff! however, it all feels like it should be in a dark wood library! its all sophisticated STUFF that lends to that well! :D
that library is DOPE!
Hola! Chica my favorite part is the WHOLE dang room!! Freaking LOVE it!!
thank you!!! ❤️
Your library is GORGEOUS
I love love love that desk chair!
Oh my god, Ali, this is so pretty. I think that desk set-up is my favorite part (besides the bookshelves lol), that just looks like such a nice work space. If you ever need to change careers, you'd make a bomb interior decorator.

RIGHT!? I had a crazy amount of people like "who needs a ladder for such a small library" like EXCUSE ME!?!!?!?
@@hardbackhoarder Nobody needs that kind of negativity in their life.
Your library is gorgeous
This was so inspirational! I envy you! This room is just 🤩
you should paint the whole room a really dark cozy color
It was a dark color before and the room doesn't get a lot of natural light so it felt small and I had trouble with filming :( I would loveeeee dark green walls
I love this so much! What a beautiful space!
omg I love this so much
It looks great!
WOW! This looks AMAZING! I feel so inspired to redo my library now too.
Go for it! ❤️

The library looks great. I'm thinking of taking them as a sponsor.
That looks sooo freaking good 😍👏
This looks so amazing, love the shelfs and your desk. However quick question what is a cricket?
a Cricut is a cutting machine, cuts vinyls and stickers and fabrics I believe
@@hardbackhoarder Okay thanks, I've just never came across one before and I was like wait, what is that? Love your bookshelf's by the way. glad I'm not the only one with a huge library like yours.
You're such a queen!!! 💯💯💯

Me who has a small room with books on a shelf 😭 trying to make it work
Thank you for sharing your library. Do you know the approximate dimensions of the room? I have a small to medium space to decorate my library/office and I’m trying to see if designing my space would be similar, based on the size of the space. Thanks.
Amazing , & very professional looking.

So pretty!!
I love it 😻 it's so beautiful

I love this room so much!! How do you attach the lights onto the shelves??
I used tiny nails but I've seen people use small command hooks too
@@hardbackhoarder Ok thanks! I've always just used tape and it never stays haha. I'll try nails or command hooks next time! (I want to decorate my shelves for Christmas so I've got to get prepared lol)
Amazing!!!!
Hey I cover my books too! Lol I love it..
Really cozy vibes, Ally 😄👌 could you consider reviewing the best free book that I found online, called “AllatRa“ ? 🙏❤️
20:11 name of the book ? I love the library !
Common Spiders of North America! It has a yellow/tan cover with spiders. It is relatively inexpensive now
@@hardbackhoarder Thanks!
As usual, I am oooobseeeesseeed
Can you please tell me where you got your wig from? It’s so pretty.
