Custom Wall Storage/Media Cabinet

Friends of ours recently retired and moved to the family lake house south of Jacksonville.  The house had been in the family a long time and when our friends decided to move there, they decided a great deal of updating and improvement was needed.  For the past two years they have replaced windows, painted, cleaned, done extensive landscaping, and a whole variety of other necessary repairs and upgrades.  It is amazing what they have been able to accomplish working only part-time on the home as this was all done before they moved from the city and were still employed.  One of the drawbacks to this charming small lake house however is the lack of adequate storage for linens, clothing, books, seasonal house hold items, and a good place for the TV.  The room chosen for the storage cabinet is long and narrow with a window at one end. There was also the opening in the interior wall left by a window no longer installed that needed to be covered. They did not want anything real elaborate or to look like kitchen cabinets but it had to blend nicely with and not overpower the lovely antiques and other furniture in the room.  My solution was this multi-level curved cabinet which gave them tons of storage  and a very sturdy base for the TV.  A solid surface top was selected for the top on the lower section which also had a “knockout” to corral all the cords.  Beautiful hardware was chosen to complete the project and our friends couldn’t be happier with the outcome.  It’s always fun to leave your customers happy, but even more so when those customers are dear friends.
