The New Yankee Workshop (1989)

Episode Overview

During a visit to a designer show house, Norm encounters a striking array of bookcases inspired by Greek Revival architecture. Despite being constructed from plywood, their exquisite details create the illusion of solid white stone. The shelves are designed to mimic marble slabs, while the cornice of the tall case resembles intricate stone carvings typical of Greek temples. Enclosed with glass doors that operate on hidden European hinges, these bookcases are not just functional furniture; they are stunning pieces meant to showcase your most cherished books and prized possessions.
