Woodwork around the room
Ethren’s scope is the built-in wood structure surrounding the alcove—not the upholstered couch. The work combines open display shelving, concealed drawer storage, integrated lighting, and fitted trim into one symmetrical elevation.
A scalloped wood valance carries across the center opening, giving the cabinetry a distinct profile while keeping the seating area visually separate and open.
