Entertainment Center Cabinet for Big TV

This is an entertainment center for a large screen TV that will set above the mantel effect about 48 inches from the floor. The wall had a 45 degree turn in it on the left where the cabinet was extended to the edge of the sliding glass door. The right section the wall extends out from the inside corner about 18 inches, so the cabinet is a couple of inches less that this in thickness to the face.

The visible hole is behind the TV and is space so that wiring from the TV can drop down into the lower cabinet where the electrical outlet is and the cable hookup if used. The lower doors are inset into the openings and have an adjustable shelf inside each base cabinet. All the shelves are adjustable except the fixed shelf directly above the top of the TV section.

Custom Bathroom Vanity

Here's a photo of a custom bathroom vanity that isn't installed yet. This will have a counter top installed and a sink for a master bathroom.

© Florida Craftwood
This vanity is built using birch plywood and soft maple facing and maple drawer boxes. An open shelf is below for storing folded towels. Each drawer has soft self-closing hardware along with the two center doors. The stain color is Minwax red mahogany.

I will post an additional photo of installation when ready.

This photo shows the installation unfortunately, the photo is a little fuzzy but otherwise shows the space it was designed for. The plumbing pipes and fittings are now inside the center cabinet area. There is also a mirror above which does not show in the photo.

Entertainment Center for Big Screen TV

This entertainment center was built for a big screen TV to mount in the center upon the back wall and wires to run inside a chase down to lower section where wire access is located. The doors below the center section have a decorative grating for both ventilation and guaranteed remote functioning if used. The following photo shows the cabinets freshly painted without the shelves or door knobs installed.

The opening for the big screen TV is big enough for a 60". The base is built similarly to furniture with a decorative leg and toe kick since the floor here was fairly level to begin with.

The top has a solid piece so that the view of the top is more finished looking a seen from upstairs . (See photo below.)

The shelf above the opening for the TV is fixed and another adjustable shelf is made for above this.
All the doors are inset with self-closing hardware and adjustable shelves.

The base cabinet is 20 inches deep and 18 inches on the sides deep. The section above is 12 inches deep. The hole seen in the center section is the access to the vertical chase for wiring which is behind the TV.
