I made this bookcase & cabinet for a room we’re turning into a library/sitting room. The cabinets and shelving are made up of 3/4” ply boxes. The backs of the shelves are 1×6 V-groove T&G pine roofers, stained and oil poly’ed. The cabined doors are maple frame and panel which I outsourced. I cut the maple drawer faces on the table saw. All the trim and face frames are also maple on full extension slides. The finish is latex/acrylic wall paint topped with waterborne poly. The turquoise over the red was sponged while still wet to simulate a distressed look. It’s 12 feet wide by 17 inches deep.
Thanks for looking

Lovin the turquoise and red combo! Very retro looking with a modern flare. I’ve been wanting to do something similar to the color scheme you have here. God bless.

Clint like your work, most of the time. Guess I’m too traditional for this one. LOL! Looks like a lot of effeort went into it. I’d like the shelving system( w/different finish) for my home office. Maybe I’ll get there?

A fantastic place to store all those awesome woodworking books and magazines, and even some how to DVD’s. Very nicely done. I even like the color combos as well

Luv the Colors! I really like this rustic feel sorta stuff, makes a home feel cozy and warm and friendly.
Any plans on getting some handles on the doors and drawers?

Stay tuned, Ted. Since the project resides in NM and is in the Southwest style, it’s gonna get outfitted with fake deer antler pulls and some decorative Indian designs on the upper face frames. I’ll post a shot when that all comes together.

Very nice cabinet, plenty of space (hopefully) for all your woodworking books.
Great work

Project update:
It’s finally complete with hardware and trim. The door and drawer hardware is faux antler with magnetic catches inside the doors. Pewter horned toad climbs down the shelf. The counter trim is studded with handmade nails.
