cabinets beside fireplace

13 years ago

I see pictures of this that I love but don't know where to even find them.

I converted my fireplace to a stove insert more than 20 years ago and still use in winter. I have a nice brick around it and a mantel but I love the look of some cabinets to fill in the wall on either side. Does anyone have these that you can post pictures and/or tell me how/where you got them.

Thank you

I cant imagine buying something off the shelf that would compare to having a cabinet-maker or a (very skilled) carpenter build a custom built-in style. He could make it fit your needs and desires plus add a custom touch! Try looking for some small cabinet shops in your area. Ask to see prior work! You don't mention if these are uppers only full length bookshelves.etc.
Good luck!

Whatever you do, make sure you observe the "clearances" recommended by your stove's manufacturer. This refers to the minimum distance from the hot stove that you can safely place something that's combustible like a wooden cabinet.
