Trimmed the bottom of the cabinets with a trim to look like one continuous flow then added lights to the top to shine down.

Step 3

Added books used fillers buttons to hide different holes on the inside of the cabinets.

Re: library

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @rucky. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for sharing your terrific project.

 

What an amazing transformation! You've done a sensational job of turning a plain sitting room into a cozy and inviting area. Great idea to use larger cabinets to support the top one and the trim really sells the look. The top lighting adds a warm and welcoming ambience to the space. 

 

Have you discovered any new favourite activities or moments in this transformed sitting area?

 

Great work!
