Two burly male friends came over yesterday to move the behemoth bookcase upstairs. Today, I installed the shiplapped and beaded back and moved it into its final position. Next, I'll build the crown molding and once that's added to the top, I can cross this one off my project list.
Incidentally, that flag hanging on the wall belonged to my great grandparents, immigrants from Sweden. It's a pre-1912 flag with 45 stars and I'm sure it meant a great deal to them.

LOML, you're welcome!
Mom, quit commenting on my blog!
I love that your mom named herself fruit loop. It seems just right. :) Love you, fruit loop!
The bookcase it BEAUTIFUL!!! My books want to purch themselve there too. They are all of a sudden discontented with their current home. Demanding little books!
It will look better once I add the crown molding. For instance, you will no longer see that piece of pine at the top. That's actually not a design feature. ; )
Gosh, it was so long ago, I don't really remember....
(yeah, I caved)
Kari I love the book case. The flag is an amazing thing to have I wish I had one like it. Keep it well and protect it. Thank you for keeping such a thing alive and well.
