Master Bedroom: Built-in Television Cabinet

This may officially be the worst documented semi-major project we've done in the house.  Not sure what happened but I think it was partly because Handy Hubby worked on it at random times or when I was away for work so I didn't get to take too many in progress shots.

So, we left off here last time. I think.


So fast forward 2.5 months and we're here.

Handy Hubby added the crown molding to dress it up a little bit.  He also wrapped the baseboard around the base so it's a true built-in.  



 Handy Hubby made the Shaker-style doors using a Kreg jig with a panel inset.


Next up I need to get some hardware.  I think I am going to get something dark to match the curtain rods and dresser hardware.

I first mentioned this project to Handy Hubby over a year ago and it feels good to be almost at the finish line!

  3. Hi.. I love the cabinet.. just an fyi- cause the pocket holes would drive me nuts.. You can get the kreg pocket hole wooden dowel filler thingies to fill them in. I find that cutting off the end about .25" inches (round end and not the slanted end) works the best. Then just add some glue in the hole (test fit first), push the round end in first until the slanted end is flush with the wood, sand and you are done! No more holes. : D

    1. Great tip! Fortunately you can't see any of them with the doors closed - and we rarely ever open them. Maybe a good Christmas present for Handy Hubby!
