Bookshelf with drawers

One of my good friends asked me if I could build a bookshelf with drawers for her living room. She wanted somewhere to put photo albums and drawers for all their DVD’s. This is what I came up with.

I turned the spare room into my paint room so I wouldn’t have to work out in the garage when it’s so hot and cold. It really helped to have it inside but the cold still really slowed down the stain drying even with a heater and 2 fans moving air around.

I actually found the drawer pulls at Target! I really like them a lot and she did too. She was happy with it and it looks great in the living room. I wanted it to be darker but I had to get it delivered on the 16th since she had family coming in on the 17th and I needed to drive home. I told her if she wants it darker  after looking at it in the house a little while I could sand the poly off and put a couple more coats of stain on it but it just wasn’t possible to do that and have it dry in time to deliver. It was barely dry as it was!
