1505 Bookcases Built In or Freestanding
Modern bookcases or bookshelves fall into two main broad categories: built-in and freestanding.
The built-in bookcase can be an expensive, bespoke installation or even a simple set of shelves put up by a DIY enthusiast. The same range of quality and cost also applies to the freestanding category of bookcases.
OIften the problem with cheaper bookcases is that they are either made of steel and look like a warehouse, or they are made with low cost materials and do not have the strength to stand unsupported when filled with books. Of course this may not be a problem if they are used for displaying ornaments or when wedged between other furniture or walls.

Painted shabby chic furniture, also sometimes referred to as French-style or French painted furniture originated in Britain in the 1950s and 1960s when taxation of the owners of grand properties was greatly increased. This, together with a shortage of cheap skilled labour, meant that many of the larger, more affluent homes could no longer be maintained to the necessary standard.
It gradually became acceptable and then positively fashionable, to have interiors furnished with elegant pieces that were not just patinated with age but had a distinctly worn appearance – and the shabby chic look was born. Although this applied to both painted and wood finished furniture as the look became more fashionable ‘shabby chic’ furniture was increasingly sourced from France where painted Rococo styles had remained popular amongst the rural population long after its passing elsewhere.
