Bespoke Design:
Aynsley's Modular Bookshelf
About the User
Meet Aynsley!
My dear friend is a total bookworm and homebody, and was looking for a shelf that would be able to hold her large supply of books and craft supplies, that would feel like a piece that she would like to keep her entire life, that would match her interior decor style, and that would provide some hidden storage.
She needed the piece to be deeper than her other shelving, for it to conceal its contents, and for it to share the design language of her other pieces - a combination of mid-century sleek lines, and traditional carved wood accents.
