Palmer’s Woodworking designed, built and installed this white bookcase wall unit. Tall bookcases with open shelves stand on each side of the fireplace, with shaker-door cabinets below and crown moulding across the top.

In the middle, the tiled fireplace has a dark beam mantel, and the TV is mounted above. The white built-ins keep the room bright, while the mantel adds a warm, rustic accent.

The open shelves give room for books, photos and décor. The cabinets below are perfect for hiding games, movies and remotes, and the crown moulding along the top makes the built-ins look like they were always part of the house. The contrast between the white paint and the dark beam mantel gives this room a lot of character.
