Very nice refurbishment! I was wondering, where did you get the doors? Did you buy them or make them yourself?

My father and I built a custom wall-length bookcase for my apartment and after seeing this awesome faux stained glass idea of goosezilla's (http://www.instructables.com/id/Faux_Stained_Glass/), I've been wanting to make some doors or sliding panels for it.

hahaha, StoryAddict thanks for your comments, I've not learned japanese or swedish yet, ... and as I commented before, the doors were made by a carpenter, I took some ideas from internet and then I ask the carpenter for some adaptations to those ideas until the final result was this, of course with my singular touch. But I really would like to see some pictures of your bookcase!... the faux stained glass idea its really interesting... tell me where can I see your new bookcase?

Unfortunately the only decent camera I've got is an older sony camcorder which I never actually figured out how to connect to my computer (me <-- lazy and forgetful), but I'll be sure to let you know whenever I get some good pics up. I do wish I'd gotten some pics taken while we were constructing it but it was kinda a rough day so tempers were running high (although its final construction and paint/stain job certainly made it worth it!).

I love that this is bilingual. Now can you do Japanese and Swedish as well? Sugoi. (Just kidding...sorta...the Japanese would be cool though.)

Where did you get the pre-made doors? I like the look but don't have the skills to make the doors myself

[Girbska]

yes, the doors are made by a carpenter, I took from Internet some photos of the kinds of doors in furniture; I recommend you to look for in google images; then I consulted with the carpenter my ideas and between them he recommended me something like those doors. Thanks for your comment. :)

Looks like a job well done, although I'm not sure why you'd have to throw it away if it didn't have doors, a curtain, and wasn't painted. I prefer no curtains, it gets a little doll house looking otherwise.

oh, thanks for your comment, it was going to throw it because I changed myself from a house to an apartment and tried it in my room, but now the space is much more small and I need furniture that occupies less space. :)
