This client wanted custom book storage paired with seating and hidden storage for their Seattle home. Designed to frame a bay window in the front room, the project began in mid-December. Once the design was finalized, I got to work building always the fastest and most satisfying part of the process.
Walnut seems to be having a real moment right now, and for good reason. You can see another completed walnut bookshelf for a different client in the background this one follows suit.
There’s just one final detail left to complete: the bench top. I’m waiting on the hinges to arrive before finishing the lift up seat. This past Friday, I applied a coat of finish, which deepened the color and brought the grain to life even more.
Once it’s installed and filled with books, this piece will truly shine.
