Description:
I'd like to build 'built-in' bookshelves/bookcase units to flank my fireplace mantel. The mantel is original to the house (1924) and I'd like to preserve the design and carry over a few elements into the new units.1) Primary objective/requirement is for the units to blend in with the mantel , or otherwise compliment it. I want the wall to be a focal point of the room.
2) I'm open to incorporating new design elements in the bookcases/bookshelves, provided it works with elements of the mantel design.
3) id like to pick up at least one of the characteristic elements of the mantel (j-curve on outside or the pillar detail just under the mantel.
4) will consider various heights/styles for the units. Design considerations might include bookcase units with a top/surface matching the height of the mantel, a bookcase/shelve unit with a counter/open shelf typical counter height, or a floor-to-ceiling (or lower) shelving unit w lower cabinets.
Wants:
Does the design align with, or compliment, the mantel's design?Does the design look original to the house, like the mantel design does?
