Sean Reclaimed White Painted Bookcase

Reclaimed scaffolding boards, painted white, and distressed dark steel pipe shelving/bookcase - its salvaged vintage industrial design works perfectly in a sophisticated, casual living space. This shelving system can be made to measure to your own specifications. These shelves could easily be freestanding but our client's walls weren't straight so we choose to bracket them to the wall at the top so they look in line with the wall... To make them freestanding we would simply replace the top section with horizontal pipes running between the vertical pipes, attached with another elbow bracket. Scaffolding boards could be substituted for reclaimed floor boards, chunky reclaimed timber of any type, toughened glass, sheet metal, wire grills, railway sleepers. The scaffolding boards pictured in this example were simply brushed down and painted white and then coated with 2 coats of clear varnish so they retained a gritty raw look but light and more feminine looking.
