Built-ins

Fireplace media cabinet and bookcase built-ins

A matched pair of built-ins for the alcoves on either side of a fireplace: one for the TV, one for books.

The build

What we built

Built-ins fill both alcoves beside a slate-tile gas fireplace, finished in a gray-brown stain. On the left, a media base with four shaker doors sits under an open TV bay and a crowned upper shelf. On the right, a crowned bookcase with open shelves sits over a two-door shaker base.

Details worth a closer look

  • Media base with four shaker doors Closed storage below an open TV bay.
  • Crowned upper shelf A shelf with crown molding caps the TV bay.
  • Bookcase over a two-door base Open shelves above, shaker doors below, under the same crown.
  • One stain on both sides Both built-ins share the gray-brown stain and the shaker door style.

The fireplace, mantel and tile surround are in the photos for context. This write-up covers the two built-ins.
