Basement shelves

I built these shelves for our entertainment room a while back, which complement similar built-in shelves I put in my husband’s library. We’re trying to avoid the books stacked on books problems, especially after retrieving boxes of books from storage. They’re nothing fancy, particle board painted mission tile red with oak trim along the front of the shelves, which also keeps the shelves from sagging. It’s actually six individual shelf units, tied together with hardwood (is it basswood?) moulding.

Jennifer Petkus divides her time between writing Jane Austen-themed mysteries, creating websites for the dead, woodworking, aikido and building model starships. She has few credentials, having failed to graduate from the University of Texas with a journalism degree, but did manage to find employment at the Colorado Springs Sun newspaper as a cop reporter, copy editor and night city editor before the paper died in 1986. She has done little since. Her husband is the night editor at The Denver Post. Her best friend is a cop. She watched Neil Armstrong walk on the Moon live. She is the author of, Good Cop, Dead Cop: A Novel about the AfterNet. She’s writing the sequel, The Background Noise of Souls, and another AfterNet related story, Jane Austen’s Book Tour.
