There are so many options – including the hardware finish (I selected black): On their website ( is an easy order form online where ladders are customized. I partnered with Custom Service Hardware and together we created the perfect library ladder for our office. I was slightly overwhelmed when I saw how large they are (you can click here to see how I tackled painting them).Īfter realizing the massive size of these shelves required a rolling library ladder (at least that’s what I told my husband), I quickly embraced my mammoth-sized bookshelves. I came home to these gorgeous but GIGANTIC bookshelves. He brought the shelves in and installed them in a day – the same day I was gone all day at the Indianapolis Home Show presenting. We hired a guy to build them, and he built most of the shelves in his workshop. We debated DIYing some built-ins but ultimately decided to hand it over to a professional. It looked so normal on that piece of paper. It was nearly impossible to find anything.Īwhile back (while I was frustrated about having a book closet instead of a coat closet), I sketched up a plan. Meanwhile, all of our books were spread out through the house in closets and every nook and cranny we could put them in. Since moving into our home over three years ago, we planned to build a wall of bookshelves in the office. I have been obsessed with adding a rolling library ladder to our home forever.
