I need to make up shelves and built in cabinets for a library. I have been
looking for ideas on Arts and Crafts style and having a difficult time
finding something that would not be to simple looking to be too plain such
as a bunch of plain flat boards and too fancy like a victorian style.

I have made up the kitchen cabinets and used inset rail and stile, flat
panel doors with a vertical center divider.

The shelves would have no doors and allow the books to be seen.

Any ideas/pictures/plans?

====================

I've got a book on Arts and Crafts style, but unfortunately its down in my
shop right now. . .I'll post the name of it in the morning. It's got some
great shots of two Greene and Greene houses that show some beautiful built
in furniture, as well as other houses and interiors.

The book is entitled, "The Arts & Crafts Home," by Kitty Turgeon and Robert
Rust, Friedman/Fax Publishers. Lots of good ideas in it, as well as history
of the Arts and Crafts movement.

"Inside the Bungalow" and "Bungalow Style" both by Duchescherer &
Keister are wonderful A&C/Mission porn.

I picked up Kenneth R. Trapp's "The Arts and Crafts Movement in
California: Living the Good Life" at the library when I returned
some books the other day. It's one of those beautiful coffee
table books, 328 pages worth of pristine examples of woodworking,
lamps, glass, pottery, A&C tile (some awesome stuff that I
had never seen before), repoussé copper, homes, etc. WOW! I hope
I get the time to actually read it before it's due back.
