Diy Family Room Built Ins

We spent about 450 total for the above built ins including mantel molding hardware and paint.

Diy family room built ins. We used this same method on the built ins we did in our front room and documented the process with photos in this post so you can see what i mean. Then we painted the back wall a deep blue and secured lack open shelves on each side. This project would have easily cost us thousands of dollars if we would have hired it out. This isn t so much an in depth tutorial like our other projects but more like a guide.

Last we spoke of my family room i was scheming and dreaming of an updated space that would be functional stylish in our home because this is the first room you see when you walk in the door i knew it needed to be a showstopper. We created diy built ins in our family room to replace a long wall of ugly wood paneling. They are stained maple if anyone is looking for an unpainted example. These cabinets are.

Today we are sharing how we built our built ins. That s when i came up with the idea for some fabulous built ins on the big blank wall you see right when you come into our condo. The family room before our diy built in. Did you know you can create custom built ins for your living room office or laundry room using prefab and stock cabinets to hack the high end built in shelving look.

I can t imagine what these would have cost us to have built professionally but i m really lucky my husband is such a great hobby carpenter.
