I’m building built-in bookcases in the living room and am torn between:
1. having the electrical outlets remain the wall (with cut-out in back of bookcase) vs moving the electrical outlets to the baseboard/kick plate
2. having a book shelf above the large doorway (approx 8 ft) leading from the living room into the hallway vs. having bookcases only on the left and right of the doorway
Wondering what others have done in their homes and which would work/look best…..
Thanks in advance!
