I want to build a small bookcase to go in the corner my bedroom.
I have looked at furniture stores and plans on line, but don't like anything
there. Right now we have a regular bookcase, simply set at an angle; while
it doesn't work that well, it is better than the corner bookcases I have
seen.
Any clever ideas for what to do? I want it to be functional, yet look like
it was made for a corner.
Thanks.
Have you considered a revolving book case. I have an antique but I have seen
plans for them online. About 18 inches square they have half shelves on each
edge. The other half is covered with lath and provide space for the books on
the adjacent side. Their attractive, functional and fit well into a corner.
You czn't put them directly against the walls becasue the need a little
clearance to turn but aside from that, maybe a solution. Dont' have a URL for
the plans, but check the major plans places like woodcraftplans.com or DAGS for
revolving bookcase.

I was going to suggest a "half a rotating" shelf with "un deep" books
next to your bed, and to the front, the deep books (deep
dimensionally, not deep subjectwise) alongside the panel covering the
side of the un-deep shelf. If you see what I mean.
