If this bookcase
looks familiar, there's a good reason - it's essentially the same
as the built-in bookcases we featured in "Fireside Retreat Part
2".
But in order to convert it into a freestanding unit, we've added a
few distinctive details. Since the sides of this bookcase are visible,
that's where you'll notice the biggest differences. We applied a solid-wood
frame to each side. The trim strips are also different. Notice how
the edging, cove molding, and base molding all wrap around the sides
of the case. |
