Den Remodel

Cynthia — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 19:37:46 +0000

Last year, we had a leak in our den wall that required us to tear out the old paneling and hang sheetrock. We took this situation as an opportunity to do something we had hoped to do for years: remodel the entire den. Matthew designed this entertainment center and bookshelves to be functional, appealing and cozy. The door panels are a basket weave of 1″ x 1/16″ mahogany strips which are backed by a fabric panel to allow sound from the speakers to pass through, as well as remote control reception to various electronic components and ventilation of the electronics. The cabinet tops are mahogany as well. There is easy access to all wiring in the storage room behind the wall. The four foot square coffee table, also designed by Matthew, is made of epay wood.

Biedermeier design,for Matthew, is simple yet elegant geometric styling. This large entertainment center features a traditional drop down desk surface with the upper panel pocketing back into the cabinet. The columns and ball knob pulls are black lacquer.
