Oak faced cabinets and shelves
 

Our great room faced the deck, but the opposite wall faced a loft,
and included two openings to the front hallway. With a cathedral
ceiling, that meant the sides of the wall were triangular. I
wanted a custom cabinet that filled the entire wall, so I just
built it myself. The boxes were made in several parts in my shop,
and included a base cabinet opening for a TV that could be closed
off with doors, drawer and door units, door closure to hide stereo
components and a kneehole area for the wife's computer. The face
frame was installed in place, using solid red oak for its
pronounced grain pattern and the raised panel drawers and doors
were also of red oak for the same purpose.

To blend everything in, I stained the red oak white, followed by
several coats of clear coat, letting the grain pattern show
through.

Shelves were backed with painted hardboard to match the opposing
wall flanking the FP and were just rotary oak plywood faced with
solids. The triangular upper corners were a bear to make, since
they involved trips up 22 steps from the basement, then another 14
to the loft. I lost weight on that. Grin
