Bookshelf in a closet

Bookshelf in a closetHome improvement is the easiest way to have a built in bookcase is to take over a shallow closet. Remove any shelving and shelf support and paint or panel the closet as you choose before installing a new shelf support system. Decide on the number of shelves you want, then paint the shelves or face them with paneling strips to match the closet. Now you are ready to select new shelf mounting –it can be blocks, bars or brackets. For enclosed storage, use hinges to attach a door to the bottom shelf as  a plan in your home improvement.

Two faced room divider

Building this dual purpose bookshelf requires some carpentry skill. You’ll have to notch the shelving to fit around the floor to ceiling 4 by 4 posts, and you’ll have to drill holes in the posts to receive the 1 inch dowels that support the shelves. Fasten the post to the ceiling joists with L Brackets. Sand all edges lightly then finish the unit as you please.

Hide the hardware

Track and bracket systems make easy to assemble adjustable shelving. In this version metal tracks are screwed into 2 by 4 posts, rather than into the wall. Brackets are turned toward the wall. Post which extend form ceiling to floor, should be secure with adjustable furniture glides if you don’t want to nail or bolt to the ceiling joist. Because the brackets face the wall, the unit has a customized look. Painting or finishing the posts and shelving can make this simple system even more sophisticated. Design Stuart Goforth.

Bookshelf with an inner glow

A pair of light fixtures hides under this shelf. Placed above a desk, it makes an attractive lamp shade and holds books at the same time. For the frame nail together fir 1 by 1s reinforced by crosspieces along the front and top. Sand and finish the wood as you like.
