Completed this for my wife. I made the mistake of showing her a picture from
Workbench magazine or maybe from Woodsmith. Either magazine ended up in the
same result...wifey wanted to have one in a spare bedroom turned office. The
unit spans a 12 foot wall and will provide here with a lot of space to show
off her favorite grand daughter pictures and nick knacks.
Turned out --just ok and certainly not my best work. We still need to make
the cushions and do a few little things but for the most part my job is
complete.

Very VERY nice.
What a wonderful way to make so much storage space.
I can just imagine curling up in the window seat with a good book and a
fresh cuppa coffee.... ahhh

Simple but nicely done, and well integrated into the room. I might have
routed some detail in the face frame elements to match the window molding,
but if SWMBO is happy, what else is there to say.

Nice job. It looks very similar to the unit Norm built with the window seat
and crown moldings.
His was mainly just book shelves.

Looks pretty good to me and as has already been said - as long as SWMBO
is happy - mission completed!
Next time you might want to use the time honoured tactic of: "I'd love
to hon, but I don't have a ....."

Really nice work Thom. I'm jealous. I've been wanting a book/reading
nook like that for years, but unfortunately our current home has no
areas for it's like. However, it's one of the things on our list when
we search for a new home in the coming new year. So I've got my
fingers crossed! I hope you get years of enjoyment from it!

Train your mind to test every thought, ideology,
train of reasoning, and claim to truth.
