Customized shelving?

[KarenP]

I want to create a custom cabinet with shelving from floor to ceiling in my family room - my book collection needs a more organized home!
Has anyone used kitchen cabinets and related end panels etc. to do the same thing? I like the idea of having a combination of enclosed cupboards/drawers with open shelving AND display cupboards (aka glass doors).

This is what its currently like - a hodge-podge of mis-matched pieces, with many of my books under beds!

Interesting idea @KarenP. Do you want to also house the home entertainment equipment or is that moving elsewhere?

I'm sure the ever-helpful Workshop community will have some ideas for you. Welcome aboard, it's great to have you join us. We're looking forward to seeing this project come to fruition, as well as many others around the house and garden in the future. Feel free to post whenever you need a hand or have something to share. And please let me know if you ever need assistance getting the most from the site.

Thanks,

Jason

All but the printer pretty much has to stay. As for the picture on the wall, well  that's sentimental, so it will have to find another place too.
