What is included
What goes into built-ins & bookcases
- Bookcases, window seats, media walls and mudroom lockers
- Scribed to the walls, floor and ceiling so they look original
- Trim matched to the existing millwork in the house
- Electrical and cable management planned into the design
- Paint or stain finish to match or to contrast deliberately
- Anchored into framing rather than into drywall
Built-Ins & Bookcases from measurement to final adjustment
A built-in that looks original is a trim problem as much as a cabinet problem. Matching the existing baseboard, casing and crown profiles, and running them into the new work, is what makes it read as part of the house rather than as furniture pushed against a wall.
Older Nashville homes make this harder and more worthwhile. Plaster walls, out-of-square corners and unusual ceiling heights mean nothing standard fits, and a properly scribed built-in in that context is transformative.

Background on built-ins & bookcases from our makers

Upper Cabinets Pulling Away From the Wall
A dark line along the top of a wall cabinet, wider at the top than the bottom, means the cabinet is leaning off its screws. Empty it before anything else.

Cabinet Doors That Sag, Rub or Will Not Close
Most cabinet door complaints are fixed with a screwdriver and two minutes per hinge. The trick is knowing which screw moves the door which way.

Painted or Stained Cabinets, and Which Lasts
The finish is the first thing you see and the first thing to show its age. Paint and stain wear differently, and the difference is worth knowing before you choose.

FAQ
Common questions on built-ins & bookcases
What built-ins add the most to a house?
A media wall that hides the wires, a mudroom with a locker per person, a window seat with storage, and bookcases either side of a fireplace — the pieces that make a room look designed rather than furnished. They are built to the wall and the room, painted or stained to match the trim, and they look like they were always there.
Can built-ins be made to match existing trim and cabinets?
Yes — that is the point of them. Door styles, profiles, wood species and finishes are matched, and the piece is scribed to the walls and the floor so there are no gaps. A built-in that does not match reads as furniture; one that does reads as the house.
