Living Room Built-In Cabinets

/in , /by

Our clients, Jonathan & Amy, reached out to us about constructing some custom built-in storage in their living room on either side of their fireplace. Buck constructed two sets of lower cabinets on either side with a solid wood topper and a matching fireplace surround.

Originally, the gas nozzle for the fireplace was hidden behind the left side of the fireplace surround. The left piece swung out where our new built-ins were going to be. However, because the built-ins would now be in the way of the door, Jonathan & Amy opted for a half door that swung in toward the fireplace. This allowed our built-ins to flow directly into the fireplace surround, and to still allow easy access to the gas nozzle.

Our head carpenter, David, recently finished this beautiful custom built-in piece including a gorgeous fireplace surround. Every bit of cabinetry and trim work was specifically designed to the needs and vision of our clients.

Amy & Zac are remodeling almost an entire home, and doing much of the work themselves. They decided to make the best use of this bare wall and hired us to construct a custom built-in piece for an eye-catching and functional focal point in their living room.

They chose shaker style doors for their cabinets with concealed hinges for a classic, clean look, and black hardware to match their ledger and hearth.

We had a black ledger stone installed around the fireplace and a new black granite hearth installed. The trim around the fireplace and on the mantle was created to match the shaker-style cabinet doors and trim on the bookshelves, giving the entire piece a cohesive look.
