Here is what I have been doing lately. We recently switched functions on 2 rooms in our first floor and made the necessity of book storage a rather pressing need. So, down to the room of doom in the basement I waltzed and constructed an Oak Bookcase to house those orphaned books. What you see is the bookcase with the second of multiple coats of varnish just applied. The dimensions are:
43" tall x 5' wide x 11" deep. The wood is White oak, the stain is Golden oak and the Varnish is, well, just Varnish. It should resolve the problem of too many books in an unsightly mess stacked on the floor of the newly created TV room. And keep everybody in the kingdom happy. Now I can get back to the sewing machine.- posted
