Speaking as someone currently on month three of building a home library, this is great work.

Thanks! Took me about three months (work can really get in the way)

Wow this is so beautiful! Can you give a cost for all materials? Seems like the ladder hardware I've seen is rather spendy.

For everything (wood, paint, two light fixtures, and ladder hardware) I spent about $1K. Ladder kit was affordable, but it's not perfect: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FXXK6V1?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Works though

Wow, can’t believe that was only $1k worth of material! Now I want to try to build one lol (way above my skill set!}

The painting insert section thing is beautifully done and a really nice touch, very nice!
Thanks! My wife had that painting for 15 years and never had a spot for it. When she asked for library bookshelf, I knew it had to go there
Aha that’s awesome!
