Adding facing to built-in bookshelf

Stacey and Joe asked me to look at a built-in bookshelf they had that wasn’t working for them – just showing too much clutter. I suggested covering it with doors and drawers. We went ahead; they asked to match their kitchen style cabinets but in black… it was a challenge but it turned out well.

Luckily the bookshelf was square; however the wall and ceiling weren’t quite level so I had to consider that in sizing the doors.

Here are a few pictures of the process. I made my own doors out of MDF and painted them. It was a bit more of a process than I expected but turned out well.
