Bespoke shelving built and painted this week.


These units have been spaced at different intervals to accommodate vinyl records and books of varying sizes.


It's not a normal shaped alcove with central heating pipes running up the corner and a very shallow chimney breast relative to the rest of the alcove.


None of the corners were 90°, so each shelf had to be custom cut to fit the changing shape of this old house.


The brackets were cast iron, The paint used was an acrylic egg shell hardwaring, I used a 30 mm layer of beading on the front edge of the shelves in order to make them look thicker.
