Bespoke  shelves project

Bespoke shelves project

Our solid oak boards were used to great effect in this project. An awkward space next to a chimney breast in a small room has been transformed by the addition of a lovely built-in bookcase with drawers below. With shelves going right to the ceiling, it creates a huge amount of storage space.
