Just finished up on a built-in bookcase with a buffet area in the dining room that I was working on over the past few weekends. I probably would have been done sooner but I literally had to stand around and watch paint dry. (didn't want to make any extra dust)
The wall that it is on is 150 inches long. I built it in six sections. The two end cases, the middle case then the wood top and finally the two bookcases. The top was made from dimensional red oak and the bookcases from red oak ply. The boxes were made from birch ply and face framed out in poplar. The 8 doors were made from poplar with flat panels. I went with an antique white paint to match the base and crown in our house. I have to add a few more shelves but that can wait a few days.
