TV Surround and storage

When I was still installing cabinets in new construction a number of years ago, I would often look at the niche openings that seemed to be in every living room and think to myself, “I wonder if someone could make a living building stuff to fill those holes?”

Well, here we are.

This TV area with lots of storage was custom built to fill a particularly large niche opening. The panel behind the TV was decorated with faux tin tile and I turned handles from some wood supplied by my customer that had sentimental value. I think the wood was cholla cactus, but I could be mistaken.

Lots of storage, lots of display area, a nice surround for the TV. A perfect transformation from what was just a large hole to a beautiful, functional piece.
