The attention to detail is perfect! I love the beadboard at the back of the shelves. Really nice work.

If I didn't mention, my father-in-law owned an old time hardware store and lumber yard, a classic throwback to olden days, pre-HomeD#pot, and it was a source of many new-old-stock items for my houses over the years. The sunburst and vertical stiles used on the face trim were from there. I do miss that store (and him).
