    from an amateur writer, it honestly means so much to an author when you buy their book. i know people hate on buying books just to never read them but even just as decor, buying books os awesome! it means writers get to keep writing and booksellers stay in business! ❤

    Jenna, try putting a shim under the front of the red bookcase. It's a small, plastic wedge that will help your bookcase lean flush against the wall. More sturdy than velcro.

    Maybe you can figure out a frame for the acrylic glass of your coffeetable in matching colours out of some light wood or something. Then you still can take it off, but the "edge of shame" will not be visible anymore and the acrylic doesn't move around the top of the table. Love your content Jenna ❤️💜🧡💚 Greetings from Germany.

      Came here to leave this comment myself! Most of these little floating guys have a tiny lip or two tiny “fingers” just below the shelf. You place the metal shelf just inside the back book cover and fit the edge of the back cover into those little fingers or small ledge. Magic!

  • @amberfrazier575

    You should get a bit of glass cut with 10 and 5 inches overhang and put horizontal glass mounts on the legos! Acrylic will scratch easily unless you poly coat it.

  • @jek7016
    @jek7016 Рік тому +10

    Love how your apartment turned out! Cutting plexi is definitely not the easiest to do by yourself. Custom art framing shops or stores that offer framing services can have special cutters that could do it if you find yourself in need again (they might even do it for free). You may also be able to order a piece of glass through them cut to custom size as many work with glass companies for mirrors, etc., if you ever went that route.
    You could also get those suction cup hardware attachments for glass table tops to help the plexi stay in place.

    Jenna, tip for cutting/snapping acrylic. Score it more than you think you need to. Then, get a straight edge (like a level or piece of wood or something) and CLAMP it on top of the acrylic on the edge of the table (basically where your left hand was when you were trying to snap it). That'll prevent the exact issue you had.

    the "book" shelves: there is a little clip on the inside on the shelf that you slot the back cover of the bottom book onto, so that the shelf support itself is hidden inside the book and "invisible", so the books look like they're floating and not just sitting on a metal bracket

    The bookshelf thingies you're putting up at 18:00 are the invisible "floating" shelves I think, you can put the large part of it inside the book and then tuck the book cover into the little hook thingies at either sides so the book cover isn't just hanging loose, if that makes sense (this is a terrible explanation).

What do you think you will find in them, what you will learn about them? Also, why would anyone write those books? What are their genres? En fin, there is so much you could tell us about the books. I'm glad I found your video. i am subscribing to your channel and hope to learn more about your new bonks and why you chose them.

    My daughter reads incredibly fast. I remember when jurassic Park came out. I was working, so it took me a while to read it. I got done on a Friday night . Saturday morning, I gave it to her and told her it was a great book. She was about 13 at the time. Around 4 pm, she gave it back and said she read it and loved it. She read all the Harry Potter books in 2 days. It was incredible.
