Room Renovation

I started our library build in a very empty formal living space.

I started our library build by emptying out any furniture I could and removing the crown and base moldings.

10 sheets of furniture grade plywood, and poplar 1" x's. Using a Dado blade I created the groove to receive the shelves. Created face frames to fit using the poplar and my Kreg pocket hole jig. I build 5 base cabinets and 56 bookcases.

Once everything was built I installed in place.

I used a plinth block detail with a custom made base cap design I created.

I opted to prime and paint the woodwork in place, this way it would all get coated at once. I was a LONG process!

I created a 5' high wainscot with a small 8" top panel. I used 2-1/2" wide poplar and a rabbited cove molding to create the detail.

I used 2-1/2" and 5-1/2" by 16' long. poplar to create the beams. They were put together with a biscuit joiner.
