Built in Cabinet Wall

Full album and writeup here

This is a set built-ins I did two years ago. A full one third of the project was spent painting! I did it all with a brush and regret not getting a sprayer.

Probably not much of an issue in this case, since the TV isn't really central to this... But don't make the mistake I did in 2006 and build your cabinet to fit a specific TV.

A modern 65 incher will technically fit this 58" TV-shaped opening, but it'll be a combo of awkward narrow & wide gaps.

Oh that's lovely. What material are the door panels?

I sized the opening to be a bit bigger than a 40" screen. Our house is pretty small so we won't have much use for anything larger.

Beautiful! What wood and finish did you use for the horizontal wood part?

It's a 12' piece of scarf jointed cherry sourced from a local flooring & decor store. Finished with wipe on poly. We are really pleased with it!

Looks great! Did you buy the cabinets somewhere or did you make them?

Beautiful work OP! Love the exposed wood in the middle. As a lover of wood grain, the more exposed wood the better!
