Bookcase dimensions, clarification? - I love this opening so much that I am hoping to do something similar in my own home. I realize how important the proportions between the shelves and opening are, and was hoping you might be willing to clarify the height, depth and width of the shelves? Thank you! »

Goforth Gill Architects Bookcase height is approx 3'6", depth 10", width 2'6".

What is the distance between the columns? - Would you consider 6 feet too small if entering a room 14 feet wide x 32 long. One side of the room (or columns) is dining where wall is 8 feet long, then the opening, then the livingroom. New construction, so I have time to adjust. Thx for your help. »

Goforth Gill Architects it's 7'3" between the ends of the bookcases. 6' seems a tad tight. If you have the space I'd make it a bit wider.

belfastbound I wasn't sure if it would be annoying or PC to simply say thank you, so after a month of hemming and hawing, I wanted to say thank you. I am going to make the bookcase length shorter to make the opening larger as you suggest.

Goforth Gill Architects I'm sorry but I don't keep records of paint colors. My clients typically use Benjamin Moore paint if that helps.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Create an architectural focal point. "With this room divider we were looking to separate the dining room from the living room with an architectural element, while preserving the openness between the two spaces," says Kimberly Goforth of Goforth Gill Architects.
