The breakfast nook - phase 1

This house has an interesting breakfast nook just off the kitchen and dining room. It seemed too small for a table and chairs, so we decided it should become a seating area with a bookshelf. These pictures are art of phase 1, hopefully to be followed by various other phases in the not-too-distant future. I would wax eloquent with the work that i did, but basically it's plywood boxes put on the level and painted white. The interesting part of it is that there was a register right under the middle window. We didn't want to lose that air, so there's a wood-cutout vent in the front and the sides are setup so that air can escape there. Hopefully it will never become a fire hazard, or at least if it does, it won't be while we own the house. The next phase (which i'll have to take pictures of) is the lighting for the nook. We have some of the lighting in place now, but i'll add the finishing touches once we have the bookshelf in place. The bookshelf is the next phase and i already have the base finished.
