to get by the end of the weekend.

Decided to use pre-made kitchen cabinets w/ deep bridge wall cabinets for window seat. We had to build up a platform under the bench so doors cleared the carpet. Also added 1x’s on top to support top of bench. The countertops are 3/4” birch I stained to match barn doors (also a diy project). We installed counters tonight with fillers next to walls & toe-kick.

Hope to get bookcase shelves built on top that go to ceiling & walls on both sides. We’ll add trim on sides and crown to top. Door handles match those on barn doors. Using 1x12 solid wood for side & top supports we’ll paint white then white laminate shelves. Decided to use fixed wood shelf supports rather than pegs. Know that means we won’t be able to adjust but want the added weight support. Really will load them with books. The wall is just over 14’ wide with 6’ window so shelves will be just over 4’ wide.
