About this deal

If you’ve already done that, your item hasn’t arrived, or it’s not as described, you can report that to Etsy by opening a case. Construction of the window bookshelf was pretty much complete at this point. I was really pleased with how it was turning out, and Eileen was absolutely thrilled. Thanks for posting this info, I have planning underway for something similar and this helps to confirm/improve my thinking. 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.

Aside from the 2×4, I used a countersinking drill bit to make the screw holes in the shelf. This made a clean hole for the screw to be countersunk without damaging the expensive birch plywood. This is so amazing, what a lovely addition to your home. I love the window seat too. Very clever and talented.

You did such a great job! My husband and I have this project on our to do list! I will be pinning this to save for a reference once we start our project! It was a little more difficult to work in the bedroom due to the limited space, but it was manageable.

With the help of the jig, cutting the dados was pretty effortless. Eileen even lent me a hand and cut some of them for me, while I did some other tasks. Here is a picture of the end result (a louvered vent would be inserted into the front hole, which I cut out with my trusty jigsaw): To start, I placed 2 of the bookshelf vertical end supports side by side, clamped them together tightly, and marked with a pencil where all the dados were to be cut. So it definitely wasn’t perfect trim, but considering how cheap it was to make from 2 x 4s, it was worth it. And, we still haven’t put up any doors! Eileen would love to add French doors this year to make it feel like a separate room. That’s definitely on the project list.I strongly considered using melamine-covered particle board for the shelves, but instead opted for some good quality birch plywood. High quality range of shelving and library units which have been designed to fit together. The system is designed to maximise storage and display potential whilst keeping costs to a minimum. To complete Eileen’s office, which is a sitting room off our bedroom, it needs some kind of doors. We are thinking about French doors or barn doors. What do you think would look best?! Working between the garage and the upstairs bedroom meant frequent trips up and down the stairs. Many times I would have a handful of tools to juggle.
