Set on two floors, the Film Darkroom book nook is a photographer's shop from the early 1900s. Downstairs, a bellows camera stands on its wooden tripod. Upstairs, black-and-white prints dry on a line next to the enlarger.

With 405 pieces, this build is for people who are used to assembly kits. Give it to someone who shoots film or loves the early-1900s look.

Who is the Film Darkroom book nook made for?

Film photography fans and anyone who loves the retro look of the early 1900s will enjoy this one.

It's a difficult build, with 405 pieces and six to eight hours of work, so it's made for people who are comfortable with assembly kits. If you're new to this, team up with a friend who's built one before.

Its browns, black and gold go well with a room in dark or wood tones: forest green, burgundy or charcoal gray. It fits right in on a shelf, between two books.

In the evening, its LEDs let it double as a night light on a desk or a nightstand.

Book nook details

Downstairs, the bellows camera stands in front of a shelf with a collection of small antique cameras. Near the desk, a floor lamp lights the film rolls and film boxes. Upstairs, under the "Film Darkroom" sign, black-and-white prints dry on their line next to the enlarger. The photographer has even pinned his developing charts to the wall, with the times and temperatures to follow. In the center, a tall arched door with decorated glass lights up under a chandelier. A large sepia photo of the Leaning Tower of Pisa is printed on the side.
