Hey friends, after many (MANY) requests, let's build some basic built ins!

I built these custom built ins for my sisters office to add storage and sophistication. To keep things simple, it was built in sections--two base cabinets, two bookshelves, and a bench seat to go between them.

All in all, there's a lot to cover, but this project is pretty straightforward. I hope you enjoy watching them come together!
