Bookcases & fireplace


In the process of restoring our older home, I added the gas fireplace and bookcases to give the master bedroom a warm Arts & Crafts feel.

The bookcases are of VG fir.  Interior panels have VG stiles & rails with pine bead board - like some originals I had seen in the area.  Shelves are moveable. The leaded glass door panels were made by a local glass shop to mimic the beautiful original windows. Finish is 7 coats of shellac: 2 parts garnet to 1 part ruby.  I still need to mill and install the 7/8" quarter round molding...
