Bookshelves SKAFFA in a old house in Genova Italy

Sawatzky designed the bookshelves along the living room wall out of Ikea components: one-inch Lagan butcher block countertops and inexpensive Ekby Lerberg brackets. She also used pieces of the strong and attractive countertops for built-in shelves in the upstairs lounge as well as for trim in the kitchen.

Built-in bookshelves in the living room hold Sanders’s vinyl collection.

A bed for the shopkeepers built into the design of the bookshelves.

There are bookshelves, closets, and cabinets galore in the pared-down, boxy home.

In the living room, a warm woodsy palette reigns, with a few blue-gray notes to create a serene mood.
