DIY recessed shelving - Part I

Here's a little project I am doing in the 3rd bedroom.  There's a little area between the closet door and the corner of the wall where it was just perfect for a little recessed shelving unit....
The measurements are 16"x34" with 3 fixed shelves.
Had to block out the framing to make it fit where I wanted it to between the studs, but it's coming along nicely.

Cut the hole

Frame out the top, bottom and sides - glue and nail for stability

 Add shelves - glued and nailed

Shelf is ready for the backing and to be installed...  did a dry fit tonight with out the backing, but had to go to dinner with friends...

So, the rest will be the Part II blog post tomorrow ...
