Bookshelf at 667, December 2011

David & I needed a bookshelf for his growing collection of oversized art books and my nature & garden books. But we didn't want a typical bookcase & thought it would be fun to build our own unique shelf. The space under our steps looked like a good spot & we scored some nice oak pieces on super sale. Then I bought 4 different sets of brackets so we could decide which ones looked best & fit in all the right spots. It was a bit tricky to figure out where the wall studs were, but we got out the stud finder & the measuring tape along with the drill and got to work.

Staining the pieces in the backyard.

The finished product with room for collections.
