HOMCOM Bookcase Storage Shelf with Cushioned Reading Seat, Cube Bookshelf Organizer for Bedroom Living Room, White

Product Information

I did attach some beadboard paneling above the seat with construction adhesive and the finishing nailer. This room has certainly come leaps and bounds from the desolate yellow sitting room. It’s absolutely Eileen’s dream room. It’s such a great addition to our home. It definitely upped the value of our home, not to mention our enjoyment of it.

With a storage-and-display solution you, get the best out of both worlds. Hide the clutter inside the cabinet and display your favourite belongings in the open section. By choosing glass doors in the open section, you can place things you want to both display and protect. It could be your favourite porcelain or glasses that only are used on special occasions. Bookcases for every inch of your home Even though it would be a small shelf, Eileen felt that it would add a lot aesthetically, and there are always creative ways to decorate.As with most of my projects, I started off in TinkerCad to sketch out a 3D design of what was floating around in my head. I came up with the following: Determining Materials To get the cabinets ready for installation, I built a framed housing for each. Then I slid the cabinets into the housing and screwed them in. I couldn’t leave the bookshelves as they were because the plywood edges were very rough to the touch (easily leaving splinters) and were not very nice looking.

With all the materials on hand, I embarked on building these bookcases with a window seat. Removing Carpeting After the pieces were put together to assemble the bookshelf, I set it in place using the same steps I went through for the first bookshelf (securing to the wall and to the foundation frame). There is one shelf that has too many heavy textbooks on it and needs a little support, but that was an easy fix. Also, the window seat would provide a little extra underneath cabinet storage, which is a pretty cool feature. Although the birch was a little more expensive, I wasn’t comfortable embarking on a project this size using melamine – a material I have never really worked with before.I had installed crown molding in the kitchen of our previous home, so I was familiar with the procedure.

A corner shelving unit is a great option if you want to build a home library while making maximum use of the room surface area.Only the inner shelves used dado grooves. The top and bottom shelves were attached with just adhesive and screws. I was a little worried that this would not be enough depth to sit comfortably on, but a few trial sittings on 15” planks of wood proved to be acceptable. Then, with the help of Eileen, we carried the bookshelf upstairs and set it in place. Getting the shelf upstairs was no easy task, by the way. Initially, we were leaning towards a large L-shaped bookshelf in the office. Then Eileen had a great idea of placing the bookshelf against the window wall and incorporating a window seat. I used the same technique as the first bookshelf I built in our old home – dado grooves to support the shelves, cut with a standard plunge router.

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. After the dados were all cut, I started attaching the individual shelves. To do this, I first applied some construction adhesive to the side of a shelf.Here’s a picture showing the shelf secured in place. It was really cool seeing Eileen’s vision start to take fruition.
