It seems like I rarely post anything in finished projects and this may be premature, but at least the first part is done.
My home office is in a bonus space right next to the front door. The opening was 11' of wasted space and we clearly needed additional space for books

The next two pictures are of the lovely Ikea furniture that came back from the kids college dorms that they didn't want in THEIR new houses.


Below is the first completed phase. I mostly filled in the opening to the hallway with 4 2' wide bookcases which have been in place for months. Last week I finally finished the end panels, floor trim, and doorway top and got those installed.
The bookcases viewed from inside my office

The end panels for the bookcases that I had to make twice because the first set looke awful.

And finally, the reclaimed barnwood wall which is the back side of the bookcases. I am planning on adding a rolling door that will match the woodwork on my side and be a barn door on the other.

Still to do, is to finish the base cabinets behind my desk and build the upper bookcases for those.
