✨ Music ✨
The music used in this video are from Epidemic Sound.
I love the use of the plug. When you were like “I’m going to use a candle” I was like “gav is going to end up in the ED with a cut when the glass smashes in his hand” so glad they idea was quickly lived. All looks great 👍
Gavin going Handy Manny is just what we need. I’m a relatively new subscriber so I haven’t seen the previous DIY Projects on the channel.
Have you ever seen the TikTok guy that is a British teacher living in America. He recently had to build something (DIY project?), and he bought himself Bob the Builder attire to wear while completing the project. Haha
You using random things as a hammer is so relatable. I love how your shelves turned out
Love that you got another shelf and its already full :P Hehehehe. Can't wait to see where you put your next shelf Gav!! Looks so good though and I love your PLL section.
I think you should have one of those Mini-Toolkits for everyday DIY.
You could bring all your books forward a little bit so they are flush with each other along their spines, rather than pushing them back so they make contact with the back of the bookcase. That's what I do and it looks so much cleaner!
Also I like picture frames as trinkets cause you can find any size, shape, color, or design to match your taste! Maybe you could do one with a photo of your booktube besties or from meeting your fave authors.
Good idea, and picture frames is such a great idea too!
I love how this starts as a pretty normal video but then it dissolves into the usual Gavin chaos with you not having a hammer... 🤣
I couldn’t just have a normal video could I 😂
“The floors uneven. Whoever built this room…”
They must have used a plug 🤔
Hahaha you might be right 👀
Honestly I'm most impressed with you being able to just *move* that middle shelf filled with books!!!
I just got a new bookshelf and went through this exact process! I’m also struggling with trinkets, but I’ve found that adding plants (fake or real) to my shelves has made them look much more cozy and put-together!
It looks really good. I'm getting close to needing a new one as well. I loved seeing the different things you used as a hammer. I've done the same before. Whatever works lol
I remember getting to makeover my book situation and there was so much dust and rearranging to do that it took all afternoon. I felt this video on a spiritual level.
I have an 8 month old cat and she is terrified of flies!!!! All bugs really. She can be in a dead sleep and just pop up and stare at it. Then she will come up to me or her dad and meow, well it's more like q meep sound lol, until we get up find it and kill it!!!! It's the most adorable thing!!!!
I love that you’re using a book to hammer a nail 😂 Perks of having a library full of books 📚
Exactly, gotta use what I’ve got 😂
These shelves are everything 🙌 😍 I love how you organized them, and the way some of the books with sprayed edges are flipped around. Looks great 👍
It's worth getting the top box extensions for the book cases from IKEA. They are cheap and will take the shelves up to the ceiling. I've done it on all of my billy bookcases
This… is a fantastic idea!!
@@GavinReadsItAll oh also you can buy extra shelves. Ive done this as well as I have so many books
I always love these types of videos! Makes me want to buy taller shelves (mine are all 3 or 4 shelvers and they're not nearly big enough) to give me an excuse to organize and alphabetize. Looks gorgeous! I pull my books toward the front of the shelves so they're all even that way.
Also, just went looking on Amazon, and they have lots of options for magnetic or adjustable screens that sound like they would be perfect for your situation! (Amazon, always to the rescue :P)
Thanks for letting us share in these little parts of your life :)
Love the new shelf!
I too have used various random things to hammer in nails into the Billy bookcase.
This video was awesome and the vibes were immaculate! ♥️
That was so satisfying to watch. Looking good Gav! Xx
Yess love a bookshelf sort out. Its so satisfying 😌 i tend to put figures on my shelves
This was so satisfying to watch 😍
I feel like using household objects as a hammer is just a bookshelf building right of passage 😅 I definitely relate
I love how it turned out 😍😍😍
I was seriously jammin out to this video. I really dug the background song so I had to go find it on Spotify. Been listening non stop so thanks for the unintentional rec!
Oooo which one, the first or second song? I’ve been trying to step up my background music game this year so this makes me happy 🥰
@@GavinReadsItAll The Chase by Basixx! Well, mission accomplished loved this video and the background music ❤️
your shelves look amazing!!! I'm a trinket hoarder so I might be able to help you with that lol. Maybe you can purchase some funko pops from your favorite fandoms, add a small container with your favorite bookmarks, and some crystals might be cute, kinda like the little tree of abundance you put there! seashells are also an excellent option or small plants (could be fake too). Hope this helps!✨
The song during the book re-organizing was 🔥🔥🔥
Looks great, Gav!
I am working on a big bookshelf that is supposed to cover the whole wall. Thank you for the inspiration! They new shelf looks great! :)
Also the new shelves are stunning
I saw the title and I had to be here. One more feather (or should I say heather?) in Gavin’s cap as an interior redecorator.
your shelves look great!! I’m in the process of moving and my last place had built-in shelves, so now I get to acquire new bookshelves for the first time in a while and I’m super excited!
Im still impressed by the amount of books you have, new bookcase looks great there, amazing 🤩🤩🤩
Looks great Gavin. I think some small faux plants, picture frames, figurines, you can store book mark in one of the cups, stons or crystals, a small vace with your favorite flowers or even a bundle of lavender. There are so many things you can do and that's what makes it so fun.
The shelf rearranging montage is giving me Rom-Com protagonist who channelises anger in a productive way à la Bridget Jones. The Wattpad T-Shirt makes sense now lol
looks fab Gavin I am feeling inspired to rearrange my living room so I xan have a wall of shelves and move my books out of my bedroom.
Also I love the jagged shelf look I prefer my books to feel like I am browsing a library or bookshop shelf and they are never uniform xx
Very nice! They look great!
They look amazing!
The new shelf and reorganization looks great! I desperately need to do this! I need another shelving unit because my books are _o v e r f l o w i n g !_ uhhhh. I love reorganizing & figuring out where to put new books, though. I just need to figure out what I'm doing in terms of new shelves.
I just love you Gav! Your videos make my day and have inspired me to make my own booktube channel. ❤❤❤
Aw thank you, and best of luck with your booktube journey 💕
love that!! you did a great job 😘😎
UM Gav's montage music is iconic ⭐️
Love it Gavin!!! gag, I hate putting things together! You did an excellent job! Keep the videos coming :) #1 fan!😁
Thank you, and I also hate putting things together to be honest
Oh Gavin! This video made my day! So great to see you so happy and excited. I am on maternity bedrest until the end of the week this week ... not very fun at all, so I was living vicariously through you and your joy! The extra shelves really make the room stunning! Congrats!
Aw hope you’re doing well 🥰
The "hammers"!! 🤣🤣🤣
Stunning. You did this so fast too!
I just wanted shelves as beautiful as you ❤️
I feel like we need a list of how many ways to use a book that isn't reading 😂😂
Could be a great video idea 😂
When it comes to my library, the trinkets you could use are photo albums, toys, action figures and souvenirs from past holidays.
Me throughout the hammering segment: "Oh god, Gav, please don't hurt yourself!"
Fortunately no Gavins were hurt during the making of this video 😂
12:33 The PLL Section looks absolutely brilliant!
I impressed myself with that part too haha
Looks great! 😍
Thank you 🥰
I love your small Stephen King section in the top shelf!
stunning!!
I think it's a universally known fact that carpenters don't always have a clear idea of the perpendicular.
It looks great Gav!
Thank you 🥰
Everyone should have a small drill, makes everything go so much faster and easier!
7:14 THIS WAS SO CUTE!
Listening to the Six soundtrack whilst building bookshelves, I can't think of a more perfect combination 😍
It was the most perfect combo
For future reference, a thick heal(/stiletto) makes an excellent hammer
5:05 we love a resourceful booktuber❤
also the new shelf is STUNNINGGGGG
@@alexandraroselyn it’s certainly better than before haha thank you my love 🥰
Have you made, or would you be willing to make a video discussing Stephen King books? Like reviewing the King books you’ve read, and maybe some recommendations and places to start with his books? Loved this video btw!
Maybe you could find some great 4x6 sized fan art for some of your fav YA and then frame them and place those on your shelves for some extra decor! I did this with my classics section and it was one of my fav additions. Just an idea for something a little different : )
Thanks for the suggestion Nicole!
Hello from British Columbia Canada
🇨🇦👋👍♥️🌲🧘♀️🌲🚵♀️🌲🎨🖌😎
"Everything's a hammer" use wedges to level, my floors are really bad too!!!
I'm not even a physical book buff (ebook here, don't judge me 'cause I don't have more space), but my heart skipped a beat with the "book hammer" hahahaha
Haha had to use what was around me 😂
Okay, English is not my first language, so when in the sprints yesterday you said you used a plug as a hammer... I really didn't think of this 🤣🤣🤣
😂
I’m having a really bad day so this is making me feel so much better ❤️ also where’d you get the watt pad shirt??? I need!
I got it from WattCon back in 2016, I don’t think they sell them online but I got it in person. Also hope your day got better ❤️
@@GavinReadsItAll ahhh a missed opportunity! And thank you 🥺❤️
How did you fill it up immediately? 😂👌
I myself have Funko Pops on my shelves for decoration. You could also do some little plants maybe
i gasped when you used the book as a hamer, very creative though 😭
Had to be resourceful 😂
Would LOVE to know your opinion on House of Leaves
You have no idea how jealous/happy I am that You got a new shelf. I am not allowed to buy any shelves and I feel like my boyfriend said he doesn't love me anymore ( reminds me the tiktok video where the wife says that my husband doesn't love me anymore and husband responds "That's not what I said. I didn't let the You get a new dog/cat etc." Wife responds "That's the same thing." THAT'S ME AT THE MOMENT!!!!!!!!! SO HAPPY SOMEONE GOT A NEW SHELF!!
Can’t believe you tried to use a book as a hammer 😂😱
Have you, or will you do a TBR vid - one for Middle Grade, YA, and Adult books?
I always have to force someone to come help me build cause I can never do it by myself 😂
Shelves look amazing! Question is, do you have space for another shelf if needed? 🤣
I have never understood why window screens aren't more common in other countries.
It solves the "I want fresh air, but not bugs" problem so easily.
Right?! I do wish they were more common in the U.K., summers are unbearable with the bugs getting in
Way to problem solve. Maybe a really cool globe for the shelf would be cool
Ooo a globe is a great idea
I am so worried about that mug on the top right shelf 😅
Ok paused encanto to watch. Lmao I lied on IG. I’m too addicted to The channel.
Haha thank you so much 🥰
I went to try and send you a Hammer along with a book but Amazon UK won’t play ball with my Australian account. Sorry! Plug will have to do for now.
Video Idea 💡 send photos of your shelves to your BookTube friends (like Meg) and ask them to roast/rate/fix your library 🙏🏻
Or Daniel Greene
Great job. Maybe we should send you a tool box oh I seen them in all colors
What brand is the dark bookshelves
Gavin, I love you. Please buy a toolbox.
I love the collection of the PLL Books that are causing Shelf Crisis. #Shelfish
(Jay RoC) you booktubers are crazy with you're 10 shelves LOL I struggle with just 3 shelves
Is your floor rated to hold all the weight of your books?
If you don’t have a hammer, you can use: A Candle in a glass container, the back of a screwdriver and if you’re a reader, you can use a book.
Exactly! 😂
🦄✨
Wait, no window screens?
Not really a thing in the U.K. unfortunately, we need to get on it
No screens on your windows? Is that not a thing across the pond?
Not really, which is a shame cause it would make summers bearable 😭
@@GavinReadsItAll truly. When we didn't have air conditioning, we relied on being able to open the windows at night.
I definitely would not have done that if we didn't have screens. The mosquitos would be worse than the heat. 🙃
I wonder if you could buy screen like fabric online and like... Velcro it to your window frames or something on the inside?
You need stuff from your fans do you have a P.O. Box xx
I should really get one, that would be so cool x
How many hammer 🔨 will he receive in the mail now?
😂😂😂
