built-in shelves

If you want the look of built-in shelves but your home didn't come with them built in, no worries! You can make your own for a fraction of the price of custom, handmade ones. The secret to creating the custom look quickly and inexpensively is to accentuate a plain, standard bookshelf with molding. Or go a step further and use alcove shelving components to build your own bookshelf first. Are you really handy? Then build your own shelves from scratch.
Regardless which route you choose, stock moldings can help you create the look of custom furniture. Just keep in mind that if you purchase inexpensive bookcases, it may be difficult to match the wood to the molding or consistently coat the pieces with stain. Opt for unfinished shelves and paint-ready molding-it's cheaper and easier.
