"Built-in bookshelves give the homeowner the library feel she was after. There are two-built-in bookshelf moments in the living area. One is closer to the apartment's entrance and came with the place (though Kim added a piece so the bottom shelf wasn't on the ground), and one was added during the design process, in which the entire apartment underwent a demo to give Amanda a larger closet and bathroom."
"Built-in bookshelves give the homeowner the library feel she was after. The big wall of bookshelves took about two months to build (by pros) and two days to install. Bookshelves are painted the same gray-meets-navy as the walls with cabinet handles from Rejuvenation, and picture lights to give them the old library feel Amanda was after. They house her collection of first-edition and antique books."
Two built-in bookshelf features occupy the living area: an original unit near the apartment entrance (modified so the bottom shelf isn't on the ground) and a larger wall unit added during a demo-driven renovation to create a larger closet and bathroom. The large custom bookshelf wall required professionals to build over about two months and installed in two days. All bookshelves are painted a gray-meets-navy to match walls, fitted with Rejuvenation cabinet handles and picture lights to evoke an old library feel. The shelves display a collection of first-edition and antique books.
