#294 - April 2006
Almost every home could benefit from additional storage, more seating,
and an influx of extra style. This built-in book nook delivers all
three.
The project starts with a broad bench seat that offers a comfortable
place to kick back and relax while you read under the warm glow of
built-in puck lights overhead. Underneath, you’ll find a serious
amount of storage space. Two tall bookcases that flank the |
bench are the perfect
place for books, of course, but also for displaying your favorite
collectibles.
The transformation this project brings to the style and feel of a
room is nothing less than astonishing. And no less amazing is that
the project is easy to build, a breeze to install, and remarkably
affordable.
All you need are standard woodworking tools, some plywood and solid
poplar stock, a couple weekends, and a few hundred dollars. Of course,
you’ll also want the solid advice offered in the article above
that shows you how to plan and build a book nook to fit your space. |
