Custom Hall Bookcase

An excellent use of space and lighting makes this bookshelf a great place for books and displays.

Sometimes the greatest opportunities are the ones that you walk by each day!

This empty hall was calling out for a custom bookshelf!

With available space at the end of the hallway, and many books in need of a home, this project made all too much sense.

What made this project unique was that the hall ended directly into a bedroom door. Rather than creating a typical bookshelf with a large side panel, the built ins were angled back into the wall. Providing needed walking space as well as a very unique corner cabinet.

To give the feeling of a custom install, matching crown molding was added, and the baseboard trim was extended from the wall.

Add in some backlighting to give the hallway a bit of ambiance, and you have not your ordinary set of bookshelves.
