Built-in shelves enhance cozy sitting room

Old homes present so many opportunities for gorgeous character enhancements. This home had pocket doors to separate the dining room from a sitting room, but the doors failed long ago and had been removed. Which begged the question… what else could be done with that empty space in the wall?  After some fun discussions and research, we decided to build shelves on both sides of the doorway.

The result was both functional and beautiful, enhancing the current white trim with adjustable shelf space for family pictures, books and other trinkets. The sitting room also became the library!
