Do you have a dream home wish list? I do and it's always included (among other things) a window seat and built-in display shelves with pot lights.
The window seat will have to wait, but I finally have my display shelves in the dining room!
Remember when we had ducts installed in the house for central air? I blogged about it here and here. Well, that part of our reno was bittersweet because, as important as central air was to us, we were disappointed to lose the space in our dining room and third bedroom. At the time, we decided to find the silver lining by turning them both into accent features instead of plain columns.
In the dining room, we decided Corey would build shelves to showcase some of the pretty treasures we've collected. This project was completed this past week after Rudy's bedtime.
Corey began by framing the shelves with wood.
He then added drywall.
He added a pot light to the ceiling of each shelf and a separate switch within the unit
He used plaster to conceal the seams and sanded between coats.
The finished product is beautiful and we can't wait to paint it!
We're going to use the unit to showcase a vase and an art bowl given to us by two of my bridesmaids as shower and wedding gifts.
