Some details shots of the secret bookcase. This thing looks simple from the outside but the details on it took more time then I expected. I have to give major credit to the designer I was able to work with on this job. Her name is Alice and not only have I never meant her, she designed this from 3k miles away. Her designs are not the norm for us over here on the east coast and what we normally deal with and I love it. The key to all this coming together was communication, emails and phone calls. The willingness to bounce ideas off each other and accept them. Alice is by far my favorite designer I have had the pleasure to work with in my career. She would ask me if I could do certain details and I would tell her yes, but we need this to complement that, and she would take that input and go with it or suggest another option. If your a designer reading this and deal with the craftsman’s that build your concepts, talk to them, not at them. Your designs will flourish and a trust will be built. Nothing bad can come from that. #bookcase #secertbookcase #secertdoor #hiddenpassage #custommade #woodoworking #designer #homedecor #officedecor #interiordesign #interiordesigner #decor
