Built-in bookshelves are finished and painted

April 28th, 2009 · 4 Comments

We’re really happy with the look of the media room.  Jim (or Jim-bo as our 4 and 2 year old are known to call him) did a fantastic job sanding and painting the unit to perfection.  Jim is a great painter at a reasonable rate (416-951-4446).  We highly recommend him for anyone looking for a professional painter who is also a superb guy.

We also re-used a beautiful french door that we had in the basement.  Ben hung it and Jim did his magic on it.  We still need to find a handle for it.

We need to clean the media room, load up the bookshelves and get things organized…but here’s how the bookshelf is looking:

    The book shelves look amazing, now you need to decorate them with nice collectible books.

    Kirk,

    Looking good so far. My only question for you about the Media room. Isn’t that the guest room that you promised ME!

    What an amazing project and blog….where did you find the energy. I went through a horrific renovation about 5 years ago and am now just recovering!

    I’d give my right arm to find out who the “magical” Ben is who created your amazing built-in bookcase. I’m in desperate need of BEN! If you can help, please email me at judy@grafikessentials.com Thanks!

    Hi Judy

    Thanks for your kind note. Unfortunately the magical Ben has moved on to other pursuits. Sorry.
