Forward facing bookshelf

This was my first build and I think it turned out pretty nice. I had been considering a new bookshelf for my daughter's room for some time because the one we had was large and clunky. This takes up significantly less floor space which makes her room seem so much larger.

The hardest part of this I found was cutting the arches out of the 1x2s. I noticed a lot of other people omitted that part, but I thought it was a neat way to add some interest so I really wanted to keep it. Unfortunately, they aren't exactly symmetrical and the cuts were very jagged. But I knew I was going for a dark paint in those spots so with a little bit of sanding you can barely tell.

Speaking of paint, I didn't realize how much even a small quart was going to cost me, and I bought two colours! But it was definitely worth it I think. The white with plum purple accents is really sharp, and my daughter loves it. In fact, I'm already planning on building a complete bedroom set for her in the same colour scheme. Hopefully it works out.

Thanks for taking a look! :)
