I had planned on building an entertainment unit along one wall to house a
TV, amp, sat. receiver, etc. I had a design finished and was going to make
it with cherry to match the tables I had made for the room.

After chewing on it for a while I have come to the conclusion that it would
be too much for that room. Too much cherry and too big a unit. While
shopping for the TV I saw an ad that showed a TV on top of a stand that was
the same colour as the wall and therefore blended into the wall. The stand
had an unbroken front. i.e. It was just a large plywood box with a smooth
front. I liked the look. However, by adding shelves to house the DVD, centre
speaker etc. I loose the clean look that I am after.

I guess I could make the front panel removable for when I am using the
system however, I am looking for a more elegant solution. So, do you have
any ideas?

Thanks, JG

P.S.- the walls that I am trying to match with the unit are a beige colour
