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. ​
