Acck! The asymmetry is killing me!
This is my friend's Liam and Tricia's bedroom. There is a chimney going through it. Not so much an issue, but it is off to one side. They put their bed up against it and only one of them can sit up. The other one is always losing pillows in the gap.
So they decided to straighten it out. They wanted to extend one side of the obstacle with a false wall, basically matching the nook on the right with one on the left. Then we made up some floating night-stands and open shelves to fill the nooks.
A very pleasing result. This will give them lots of storage. The drawers on the nightstands are 20" wide x 20" long x 8" tall inside and on full extension, soft-closing slides.
We went out to see our friend Allan Bousfield at Historic Lumber to get these beautiful timbers.
The open shelves are salvaged from a circa 1860 granary. The edges are gouged out because the mice chewed through it to get at the grain.
The night-stand tops are big, 2" thick slabs. These came from the walls of an old barn.
The look is completed with some nice cup pulls.
Thanks Liam and Tricia!
