I've been planning to write up a post with more detail about the Home Office built-ins' trim work even before the One Room Challenge ended. I think many of us are visual learners, so hopefully having the trims listed out will help if you want to do a similar project. I started with Target bookcases, but I think the premise can be applied to any basic bookcase. And feel free to use these trims as a jumping off point. There are so many different options, so mix and match to cover seams and create a look that you like!
These bookcases were previously standalone bookcases from Target, that I added an additional unit to, to the raise the height.
After vertical shiplap was added to the wall, the upper and lower units were secured to the wall. I also secured them to each other using 2 1/2" trim screws.
Then I added lots of trim to create a seamless, built-in look.
Looks great!! Nice work!

I stumbled across your site when looking at hood ideas for a project and I have to say I am blown away by your creativity in coming up with solutions that are budget friendly and could be applied by almost any homeowner. The way you updated your house without tearing the whole thing apart and rebuilding is very impressive! When do get YOUR HGTV show?? :)
