Each side cabinet is identical in design. The top, horizontal opening has a roll out shelf for audio/visual components. The cabinet door is a lift up pocket door and is finished with waterfall glass. The cabinets below are equipped with standard fixed shelving. As there was no brick hearth present, a frame was constructed and topped with a custom chipped limestone slab with radius cut.

The lift up pocket cabinet door with roll out shelf is terrific for audio/visual components as well as decor.

The large built-ins span a 15 foot wall and rise from the floor five and a half feet. The cherry mantle is six inches thick and was designed to appear as one continuous piece of thick lumber. In actuality, three cherry boxes were constructed to ease both cost and installation. The very slight radius on the limestone hearthstone gives extra distinction to the design.
Project Details

The homeowners wanted to update their family room by replacing their existing built-ins. The room has an elevated, beamed ceiling so larger scale was important to fit in the room properly. The design was inspired by a family antique radio cabinet with a nod to homes of the early 20th century. The cabinets are our Amish custom painted line, with a soft brush stroke glaze applied. The mantle piece was stained to match the adjacent kitchen cabinets. The entire design is quite large as it spans a 15′ wall and stands at 5 1/2′ tall. The cherry mantle is six inches thick.
