Ordinarily, I like built-ins...

BUT NOT THESE. VERY FUNCTIONAL, BUT NOT VERY ATTRACTIVE, AND BACKED BY MORE CHEESY PLYWOOD PANELING. YUCK!


UPRIGHTS GONE, ONE SHELF DOWN....



SHELVES ALL GONE!



WHEW, WHAT A RELIEF! YES, THE WALL HAS NASTY STAINS, BUT THE CEILING HAS BEEN DAMAGED BY A LEAK IN THE ROOF (ALREADY FIXED BEFORE WE BOUGHT), SO SOME SERIOUS WORK WAS GOING TO BE REQUIRED ANYWAY. THESE SHELVES WERE ONLY 10 INCHES DEEP, BUT IT'S JUST AMAZING HOW MUCH LARGER THE ROOM SEEMS NOW!
