Tv Stand Done! (Almost)

With only a couple of trim pieces left to do and a center channel speaker shelf in the box, my tv stand is pretty much done. I am pretty happy with my work, especially considering the design was all made up in my head. There's a couple of things I would do different next time but it looks great with the new paint color Kathleen picked out for our basement "redesign". The color is called Honey Beige and it really has brightened up our basement. We need a few pictures on the wall though since it looks pretty bare. I am exhausted from painting this weekend and to top it off, the whole family has a cold. But glad for all of God's blessings in our life.

Almost Done

I'm almost done building our corner tv stand. All i have left to do is a few pieces of trim work (most notably at the top where it isnt stained). Maybe 4 more hours and it'll be complete. I'm pretty happy with the design that I made up in my head but frustrated at the color that has turned out on the wood. I picked a stain that appeared dark brown on the can but has turned out with a reddish tinge. I finally realized that because I'm using red oak, the redness is showing up in the color. That's all Home Depot carries so I'm stuck with it. I'll feel better once I get my built in speakers in and tv on the stand and all the trimwork completed. Now we just have to find a paint color for the walls that will compliment the woodwork and our furniture...
