There was a central air vent on the floor where this middle frame was going to sit, and so I had to redirect the airflow. I strongly considered using melamine-covered particle board for the shelves, but instead opted for some good quality birch plywood. It’s such a great addition to our home. It definitely upped the value of our home, not to mention our enjoyment of it.

Love the seating area and how you incorporated storage under it. Beautifully built!

Here is the diagram I made in Photoshop to calculate the number of 4 x 8 plywood sheets needed: Constructing The Built-In Bookshelves incredible post and a all round interesting blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to read through it all at the moment Update: We actually did something pretty cool with the L-shaped space that we didn’t use for this built-in bookshelf project. We made a craft corner using pegboard, wall-mounted cubby shelves, and simple shelves. As mentioned earlier, it was a few inches longer than the first one and would have to be constructed in the bedroom, rather than in the garage. This bookcase is designed to be space-efficient while providing you with the storage that you need. This solid wood bookcase features extra generous shelves and is protected with a multi-step, easy-clean, finish that enhances the natural beauty of the grains. The traditional style is beautiful and timeless, lending the perfect touch to any room. Sturdy and durable, this piece is built to last the quality and workmanship you’ve come to expect.

So I measured the angle of the crown molding (the angle it would make with the wall) and ripped some 2 x 4s with my table saw to match this angle.

Here is what the baseboard looked like. The whole bookshelf project was really coming together: Attaching Trim Here is a picture showing the installed cabinets, as well as the seat attached with some countersunk screws. The bookshelves were looking more complete with the window seat now in. Building TheTop Shelf

The baseboard installed even easier. I just cut the pieces to length and secured them in with the nailgun. I think you should do a combo of the doors and do sliding french barn doors! Although I have seen some pieced together white barn doors that I am sure you could make and have it look amazing as well! With the foundation frames in place, I decided to start work on the shelves. It was getting exciting! MAKING DADO GROOVES
