The Library

Since Chrissy and I are both well read (insert laugh here calling myself "well read"), we both have a good number of books. Since we moved into our house almost 3 years ago, we have wanted to have a built-in bookcase built in our study. This was finally done in December, and it turned out great. We had a great contractor who worked very hard to get this done. He built all the pieces at his house, installed it over one weekend, and painted it the following week. Here is a photographic documentary from start to finish...

Here is the wall the bookshelves were installed on before the project started.

Another shot of the wall (on the right side) prior to kick-off.

In this shot, you can see the pieces that were fabricated in the contractor's work shop. He brought them over in a truck. Pretty cool stuff.

Here is the first level of the bookshelves installed. The countertop laid on top of this level.

Here is the almost complete bookshelves (trim still missing in upper right-hand corner) sans paint.

The bookshelves are complete here, the the painting has commenced.

And here it is! The completed bookshelves all painted up!

See, we do have a lot of books!

The last two photos are taken from a similar angle to the first two photos, so you can really see the difference with and without the bookshelves!

Coming soon...the evolution of a nursery!!!
