Quick sketch of desired plans

Framing for fireplace

built in base

fireplace is being tested out, beginning the built ins. the base under the window seat is removable for AC access and switched with a screened base to allow the cooled air to flow

both sides of shelving are up, but not yet trimmed... still trying to figure out how to connect them both sides of the built in

well, after thinking about ways to connect the two sides over the window.. time to learn how to built my first arch

kerfed the back of the 1x12 about 100+ times to so the it will bend with the arch

kerfs

arch is almost done, ready for fitting

arch is up and the face plates are up and trimmed

view from closet

barn doors are built and ready for hardware

these doors slide over one another, matte black steel hardware

the panelling was white washed, knots were covered with 3 coats of shellac and sanded. a 2x10 reclaimed floating mantle was added under the fireplace/space heater

painted and furnished! We went with cheaper fixtures, but were painted so they didn't end up looking tinny

snowy day outside behind the window seat. Home depot 8'x10' faux sheepskin rugs adds to the cozy

bed nook with hidden Sony Hue LED light strip ($50, plugs directly into 110a outlet, light color &brightness is changeable via phone app) behind the shelf allows for accent lighting

globe pendant lights ($40 each) were painted matte black, all bulbs used were vintage filament Edison bulbs
