Fireplace Bookshelves: Part Two

Y'all! We have finished the bookcases! Well 95% finished them.  I think I've mentioned the 95% rule before.  You know where your basically finished with project, but maybe have a couple touch ups or maybe the last coat of paint left to apply before you can realllllly call it 100% done. But Good Gracious, Praise Jesus, Alleluia, they are basically done!!!!



They have added such a nice touch to our living room.  It always boggles my mind how adding something so large to a room can actually make things look bigger.  The bookshelves frame the fireplace so nicely.

We even managed to give all of the base boards in the living room and new coat of paint, which made everything look that much better! 

We spent one whole Sunday finishing up the last minute details like attaching the doors, adding the door hardware (which is SO much harder than it looks), and touching up paint. 

Really the only thing left to do is to get a new fireplace door/screen, and we would like to add two shelves inside the cabinets for more storage.  We have DVDs in one cabinet and the sub woofer and plugs in the other. The DVDs really only take up the bottom portion of the cabinet- just imagine all the extra stuff we can store and hide away!!

We have also recently finished the master bath... I will be posting about that soon.
