A BookNooks for beginners links

 Hello dear readers


As I mentioned in my previous post,  the project I'm working on at present is a book nook.  I've been searching for know-hows and this link is very helpful and has much to teach about building a book nook.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11KjIjkzNxM.

Two important things to pay attention to:

1. A mirror cut to fit and be placed slightly diagonally in order to lengthen the image and create a  winding street.      

2. Lighting.

I have to wait for the lighting items which were ordered online to be able to get on with the work. I'll show you what I've already prepared. 

I cut in half a square 4 cm laser cut wood embellishment to make an ornamental balcony railing.


Added strips of wood and sides (all from my stash).



Created a door, more or less in the same style.


It was hard sawing work all done manually with a hand saw and mitre box.


This is one wall.  Nothing is permanently fixed yet.




This is the opposite wall.  Only the old books shop front is fixed.  I intend to make a narrow tile roof for the windows.  I spent a long time making books.  Now I have to make more plants and flowers to cover the walls. 

I hope to have more to show you soon.

Please take care and stay safe my dear friends.  Blessings!

  6. Hi Drora! This project is amazing, the whole looks lovely already, I'm curious to see more of it! And yes, I know out of my own experience that sawing straight and by hand is much more difficult as by a sawing machine ;O).
    I love this wonderful mini scene.
    Stay safe, take good care of yourself, dearest Drora!
    Warm hug, Ilona

  16. Your book-nook progress looks enticing, Drora. I can't wait to see the next steps. It's lovely to see some new posts from you. With all the curve balls this year has thrown at us, I also haven't been active on my blog. I will write some news soon.
