built-in bookshelves
I even have a question that I'm hoping you could help me with: my husband and I simply purchased our first house. There's a fireplace within the living room, and we would love to do shelves on both facets (like your doing), but the fireside isn't always very deep. Will cabinets appearance stupid if they're constructed out beyond the fireplace? Any suggestions?? Thank you, thank you!
Dear Anon:
That is absolutely okay! In fact, our top shelves are 10'; which is flush with the fireplace. The bottoms are 12' which sticks out past. I found some further examples for you where this works! The best part about custom is that you can make anything work in your space. The two sides are also not identical proportions because our fireplace is not completely centered in the room. You just work around these kinks and decorate it so well that it looks symmetrical.
Hope this facilitates!
