That looks really fantastic, great design and great build on that built-in. Like the paint job and the lighting especially lots of storage. Makes the whole room very bright and alive. Excellent workmanship!

I did it all by hand - don't own a sprayer. I used Valspar wood furniture primer and 2 coats of Behr latex semi-gloss. I actually don't like the paint. After a year, the cabinets are apppearing slightly darker than the shelves, almost like the different surfaces took the paint differently despite tlwhat I thought was good primer.

Great job Russ. This project looks wonderful and adds a lot of interest in the room. Great job of incorporating some purchased parts and some built parts to create a one-of-a-kind piece. Keep up the great work!

Russ, this is a beautiful build with excellent design and true honest to goodness craftsmanship.  Your talent here certainly stands out in many areas of this projects.  The doors and drawer layout is great and the upper cabinet work is superior.  The $1200.00 you spent here is definately worth many times more.  Love the lighting work highlighting the photos and upper portion of this project.   Thanks for sharing this excellent work.

 I liked the dimming sexy pic. It really made the living room be a warm inviting place to watch and relax in watching a movie or favorite t.v. show in the evening. I also like the easy access to the cables to the components. Thanks for sharing your project.
