The photographs here show a wall-to-wall fitted bookcase. The project in Rottingdean, Brighton helps to utilise storage space, allowing a small room to serve as an office, a library, a guest bedroom and a lounge. The shelving is constructed from white laminated boards with solid oak timber edging.

Simple alcove shelves

Simple shelves fitted into alcoves are probably the thing I am asked to build more often than anything else. The MDF shelves pictured here are an excellent and affordable was to utilize the space either side of a fireplace. In this example the shelves in the right side alcove are build slightly bigger and once painted will support a television.

Update: shelves primed, painted and in use.

Cabinets with shelving unit

For this project I built and installed custom made shelving and storage units for clients in Brighton & Hove. The photograph (click to enlarge) shows one of a pair units. The cupboards and shelves were built to the clients specification in my Hove workshop. The example pictured here is a made-to-measure cabinet built to house a record collection and stereo system, complete with shelves for CDs. A similar unit (not pictured here) was built for a TV & DVD etc. The cabinets will now be primed and painted.

For further examples of my work see the archive section of this blog-site. If you are in the Brighton & hove area and would like a quote for custom-made cabinets etc please get in touch, details of how to contact me can be found here.

The boxes will be primed and painted and put together to produce a 12′ 6″ high shelving unit. I will add further photographs as the work progresses.
