Built ins




Why not hide this media stuff behind built ins? 

We could build one long set of built ins along the entire wall (at the height of the ledge).  I am pretty excited about this.  The storage capabilities, and the clean lines.  My husband is not convinced, so I drew him a picture.

I need your help! Do you like the idea of one long built in? Or stick with just a media cabinet? Please vote!!  All comments on this issue are very welcome!  THANK YOU FOR VOTING!!!!

  2. I definitely vote for wall to wall built-ins. Its a good compromise and it cleans up the look of things.

  5. LOVE the idea of a built in. I was so happy when we bought our house and there were built in cabinets in the dining room and hallway.

  7. Could you get away with one of those "faux-denzas" that people are doing lately. There have been some neat ones around the blog-world.

  8. We went from a TV on a media cabinet to a full wall of Ikea's Besta (full length and height of wall) in our basement with the flat panel hung in it. We kind of had to hack the Bestas a bit. Other than our complete kitchen remodel, putting up all this basement storage is our most gratifying project to date. I think a lower cabinet the full length of wall would be great! You'll never regret having all that good looking storage.

  9. I have to send you a photo of our basement (or maybe do a post on it) - this is exactly what we did and I love it!

  10. Yes! Go for it! The horizontal lines definitely compliment your clean modern style. It will be super fabulous.
