Prefab to post fab customizing bookcases enhancements for that custom built-in look as promised.
Yes, decoristas, you too can build, design and style a better mousetrap (bookcase).
Customizing a bookcase with moldings, panelings, trims and embellishments takes an average, plain and otherwise boring bookcase from prefab drab to post style fab.
Crown and trim moldings easily punctuate the custom look.

Decorative furniture feet will take the bookcase to new heights.

The custom look is enhanced by adding for example by updating the back of the bookcase.
Beadboard paneling or beadboard pattern wallpaper take the look from common to custom.
The art of customizing bookcases is further enhanced by adding ornamental appliques and onlays.
Ornamental appliques and onlays applied to the front, side or back panels take the ordinary to the extraordinary.
Molding Installation and Applique and Onlay Application Recap:
The bookcase has an assembled height of 71.25 inches.
Decorative molding will have to be cut as it is usually sold in 8 ft lengths.
Measure the selected area of the bookcase where the molding will be placed.
A strategically placed decorative pull(s) or door knocker on a front trim, side or back panel takes the piece to custom built-in statement piece status.
