Phone pics, so not great detail.

And silly me, I forgot to get a picture of the left side panel of

bookcase.

Perhaps consider continuing the baseboard that is along the wall
around the front and side of the unit. This is the typical approach
for built-ins to make them look more integrated.

You can see I did it here (kinda hard to see how it ties in.)

I didn't use a toe kick and I think it would look better had I done
so as you did.


First of all, excellent style and execution on yours!

Secondly, continuing the baseboard was in the plans-- already painted
and cut. But when I placed a piece down, against the base of the cases,
I liked the looks better without it.

So without influencing their opinion, I asked the clients which they
liked better and they like just shoe, too. After they made their
decision, we discussed how things like crown and baseboard were
traditionally extended, as you explained, but I was never one to stick
with tradition for tradition's sake. We all agreed we liked the crown,
but not the baseboard. Of course, I would've gone with their choice,
either way.

If I were to think about it another couple minutes, I might've done a
rectangular shoe around the case base.
