Built-in shelves and cabinets around a fireplace
Fireplaces are a cozy centerpiece and wonderful to have, but they leave you with a question: if the fireplace is front-and-center, where should the television go?
This version of our shelving has removable lower shelves so the TV can go on either side or over the mantel. We also added a cable grommet to make it easy to hide the TV cords.

The interior shelves of the cabinets are also adjustable.
The shelves are made from a double thickness of nine-ply cabinet-grade plywood for extra strength. Plywood is best for this application because it resists warping, twisting and sagging.
The cabinets are topped with dark walnut, which makes a striking contrast to the white trim.
We installed baseboard to match the rest of the room, and painted the unit the same color as the trim. When we finished, it looked like it was built with the home.
