  • The finished bookcase media wall.  I left the middle section open for a large flat screen t.v.  There's a hole in the countertop towards the wall for cords, and an electrical outlet accessible in the middle cabinet.
  • All trimmed, painted, and lights installed.
  • I used stock wall cabinets (12" deep) from Home Depot as lower cabinets, so I had to build a base for them.  I was reusing some cabinets from a previous media wall attempt that didn't turn out so great, which is why they're painted.

  • These are my cabinets before glazing.
  • Here are my cabinets after glazing.
  • Glazing is a great simple way to update your cabinets

How to Glaze Cabinets

I wanted to update my cabinets a little. So I decided to glaze them. It was so easy. I used a dark gel stain and just wiped it on. Making sure to get in all the grooves. Then I waited a bit and wiped it off.

    dead.I wanted him to cut up some pieces for me to work with but he said " No!" because the tree was rotten and it had termites so I couldn't bring any of it inside of the house.I don't know if this was true or not but better safe than sorry.I would recommend that you have someone that knows more about trees and bugs than I do to take a look at any wood that you want to use before you actually take it inside of your house.

  • Drill: My little 14v Makita cordless drill is my alltime favourite. It's a smaller scale drill that REALLY packs a big punch. It fits a woman's hand like a glove, losing the bulk. I recommend the 2 pack kits with the chuck / chuckless. 3
  • Bits: this is the purse of my dreams! This all in one Makita tool bit case allows you to tote whatever you need anywhere you go. I'd be lost without it. 2
  • Palm sander: I have both a clamp on style and orbital. I admit to loving the clamp on motion better, but love the ease of the velcro attachments on the orbital. Which is your preference? 1
