Ooops! It seems I left you hanging! Ironically, my dear husby who cannot bear to leave a project unfinished alerted me to the fact that I never revealed the final pictures of the mahogany built-in bookcases he made! Believe me, the tardyness is all on my shoulders!

Here is my very favorite detail of the whole project: The transition block. We had no idea how to transition from the current white base moulding into the new, mahogany one. Fortunately, one of Aa's woodworking mags gave us a clue and we gussied it up and voila! I'm a very exacting mistress (I suppose you'd have to see the original idea-maker to completely understand this), but I think the extra effort was well worth it (especially since all the efforty part of it fell to Aa).My next fave detail is the crown moulding. It's just scrumptious, isn't it? And the top is solid so when I get some gewgaws to go up there, they won't disappear!And, now the moment you've all been waiting for (for a couple months, evidently!). . . The big picture!
