Bookshelf Prototype

 There is an ugly 1/2" setback between the foundation and the framing/drywall in the transition from the lower level to the entry.  The old builder just put some ugly molding trim there to cover it.  I had an idea to build shelving on that wall.  Not only to gain usable space, but also to cover that unsightly division.  However, that also narrows the stairwell, so I built a cheap prototype to verify fit, and tide me over until I start doing interior trim work and actually build the real thing.  Just used some scrap 2x4's and 3/4" plywood I had lying around.  Looks like it will add a lot of usable shelving in an unused area.  We'll see how it works out.
