As presently every bit I finished installing the beams on the ceiling, I began working on the bookcases.  Two bookcases amongst a fireplace inwards betwixt them.  This is the wall I chose, inwards betwixt the ii windows.  For my inspiration pics, click HERE.

All this calendar week I was trying to complete them up, my hubby happened to live traveling in addition to I wanted to surprise him amongst the shelves all done.  But no, It didn't happened.  Anyway he was impressed amongst my progress.  

Trying to complete that projection was non the alone affair I was doing, since I transformed our sleeping accommodation into my ain shop, the whole room was total of tools, pieces of wood, in addition to lots of dust.   All hateful solar daytime Mon was dedicated to produce clean the room in addition to Tuesday to produce clean the whole menage earlier he arrived on Wednesday.   Fuff, it was exhausting!

OK no more complaining.  Let's speak close the bookcases.  First thing, removing the baseboard on that wall. 

Then, grabbing the biggest folders he uses, every bit a conduct for the final measurement, I decided to build them at 12" deep without frame.  The rug in addition to pad were in addition to hence removed.

I'm non skilful making my designs inwards the computer, I take to acquire 1 of those programs, I precisely drew lines on the wall to visualize how they would look.

I got 3/4" plywood cutting to my dimensions at Lowes.  I unremarkably purchase cut in addition to stock forest at a lumber centre but for whole sheets of plywood or MDF where I take multiple cuts I become to the large stores, they don't accuse the 6 bucks per cutting the lumber centre does!

¼" plywood for the dorsum in addition to they were produce to live installed.

Making certain they were level, they were screwed to the studs on the wall.

Two unproblematic carcasses were right away standing at that spot in addition to I couldn't hold off to cash inwards one's chips on dressing them up!

For the offset business office of the Bookcases you lot tin click HERE.  This is how they looked at the halt of the day.

Thank you lot as well as hence much for your wonderful back upward as well as skilful comments on the previous post.  As I ever nation I am NOT  a professional person (far from that).  You, dearest Karen, were comparison me to Norm Abrams! Although I love as well as admire his work, I am completely certain I'm a rookie compared to him! This post service couldn't live on to a greater extent than evident, hopefully you lot tin larn from my mistakes.

Here comes the offset one.  I was as well as hence excited to run into the carcasses in that location on the wall that I began closing that top part.  With my married adult man gone for a whole calendar month I idea virtually surprising him alongside this projection done.  Hmmm... It didn't happened though. :/

As presently every bit I finished closing that top business office on both bookcases, which included a whole lot of fourth dimension trying to produce perfect cuts unopen to those beams, I discovered that I should guide keep waited to produce that after installing the human face upward frame!   That nighttime I was as well as hence disappointed to know all that function had to live on done i to a greater extent than time!

The next 24-hour interval was dedicated to set together the human face upward frames.  At this indicate you lot withdraw to know how high your baseboard is going to run, taking inward consideration the flooring infinite as well as whatsoever reveal. Also, door sizes, as well as how depression you lot desire to select the top part.

The human face upward frames were set together alongside the Kreg Jig.  Measurements are critical for this part.  As presently every bit I finished assembling the offset frame I went to set it inward forepart of the bookcase as well as OOOPS!! It was 3/4" wider than the bookcase!   I was running to unscrew the whole affair earlier the mucilage had laid every bit a stone, cutting the 3/4" on every horizontal piece, centered the lower one, drilled the Kreg holes in i trial to a greater extent than as well as assembled it again.

Oh, on the minute frame, the middle board broke spell screwing it! I was fuming!
Well, after nailing the frame inward house it was fourth dimension to goal the top (again!).
Now onto my 3rd or quaternary mistake?  The top business office had to live on included inward the whole human face upward frame, since I didn't produce it that agency I had to become slice past times piece, non the best way, besides many partitions!
The alone slice I run from halt to halt was that white slice of trim, inward fact, is a baseboard placed upside downwards ( My immature lady was non besides happy asset the other side of the board spell I measured  and checked as well as double checked for the 10th fourth dimension how good my cuts unopen to the beams were done earlier installing it!)

I couldn't use crown molding because it is a slanted ceiling (maybe it tin live on used, but I didn't dare using it!).  The baseboard was placed apartment on the front, I didn't bother mitering those corners because of the same issue, the slanted ceiling!  The butt joints were sanded pretty good to follow the cut contour.  Shoe molding at the top closed the niggling gap.

H5N1 small-scale one-half circular cut was attached to encompass upward the seams.  On the sides, apartment pieces of lattice were also added.

Then I went to function on the middle part, the chimney section.  Using 2x4's as well as plywood a "wall" was created, this agency I tin enshroud cables on the back.

My husband's provide was a yoke days away, as well as hence large assist was needed.  Ha, that was niggling help, that human face upward doesn't nation happiness.  He sanded the iv doors I took off from my bath vanity, the ones I chose to re role inward this projection (we were nonetheless using them, but I know the "kitchen cabinet vanity" needs to leave of absence of our bath someday).

And I primed as well as I painted, simply i coat, because it was non fully railroad train some caulking was nonetheless missing, but I wanted the hub to run into something nice.

An opening for the outlet was left, i to a greater extent than opening at the top was left because I installed LIGHTS! Yes I'm yelling!  The opening at the top was left to function the lights, it's going to live on covered afterward on.

This was the easiest agency ever for me to install lights that's why I'm as well as hence happy!  Because First, That outlet is connected to a switch on the other side of the room.  Second, The strip of LED lights (5 meter) has a glutinous side, you lot simply cutis off the backing as well as stick it wherever you lot want.  Third, you lot connect the strip of lights to the transformer as well as every bit presently every bit you lot plug that baby, you lot guide keep lights!

The electrical fireplace (affiliate link) had arrived together with it was hung onto 2 2x4's inwards the middle of the 2 bookcases.  It was fourth dimension to brand it hold off pretty.

I wanted to enclose the fireplace, together with therefore out of MDF a front end human face upward was cut, the within of the cut-out was the perfect stand upward for for the fireplace simply the persuasion didn't work!  It was together with therefore tight plumbing equipment that it was impossible to hang the fireplace.  I wanted to locomote able to accept the fireplace off the wall at whatever given moment, similar if the lights for the flames move out together with I get got to alter them. This vogue didn't allow for that.  It was to a greater extent than similar a permanent solution that I didn't want.

One extra occupation I encountered was the apartment cut down I had previously attached at the front end sides of the bookcases. Whatever I was trying to stand upward for inwards betwixt both bookcases didn't acquire in.  I took it off, it was a hurting on the cervix to acquire rid of it.  The mucilage had hardened pretty well, every fourth dimension I managed to pray away an extra slice I hope myself to never position cut down on the outside, earlier edifice the inside.  I intend I learned that lesson. :/

Since the kickoff conception for a "flat-front enclosed fireplace" didn't work, my side yesteryear side deed was to build a small-scale cubbie below the fireplace together with a uncomplicated mantel higher upward it.

On tumble out of the mantel a chunky shelf was drilled inwards place.

The dorsum was painted chalkboard black.  I also painted a 1/4" plywood to stand upward for within the cubbie.  If I alter my quest heed I tin accept it off together with is white again.

Finally, 1/2" MDF was cutting inwards 3" stripes to laissez passer on the overmantel a prissy pattern together with to comprehend the gaps on the sides together with the electrical hole at the tumble out (that tumble out purpose was screwed inwards house to get got slow access after on).
All the small-scale moldings were the finally touch.

Then I was inwards a pigment marathon! I used Kilz 2 Latex to prime number the whole unit.  Behr Swiss Coffee - Semi-gloss complete was used every bit the tumble out coat.

And they were DONE!
