A Cabinet Maker Discovered ...

David and I decided back in the winter that it would be a great idea to build bookshelves (well okay ... maybe me more than David) instead of buying premade ones so we could use the brick space that is really wasted space in the Family Room.

Scott was gracious to let David use his tools as well as helping him get started by getting the pieces cut out of the cabinet-grade birch sheets we bought to do the job.

After the boards were cut, I got to work priming and painting ...




Frame and shelf boards ...


Top of cabinet boards ...



Frames built and routed for the shelves to go in ...


Shelves are in!!


A better view of the unit ...


The Creator and Twins ...




Getting the bottom of the cabinets finished so the doors can go on them ...


David putting up the trim ...


Here's what they look like inside ...


Aren't the beautiful!?!!


The almost finished product.

David is still working on the doors, so when they are finished, we will get a shot of them! They have been the most time consuming because he has put decorative edges on them, and there are 4 of them, so it's a little more tedious ...

This ended up being one of my birthday presents, and my favorite for sure!
