    Gail, I've always been impressed with your work and this is no exception!!! Super detail, finish and execution. Bet the clients are tickled pink with it! 'Course, I can't help but feel a bit envious of your being able to take the summer "off" but, it looks like you've got it coming. Enjoy the time with your children but, if you do attack some smaller "around the house" projects, be sure and keep us posted! Again, great job!
    Cheers,

    Those built-ins blend in nicely with the room. Excellent work. I love the finish too.

    Very nice Gail! A well applied white finish like that just makes a project look outstanding! I'm in the process of investigating HVLP systems now so I'll check out the Titan, thanks.

    Thanks everyone. You are very kind. I like being among such talented company.

    Alden, yes, those are screw rails on the top and bottom. The 1/4 ply back is dado'd into the back of the case.

    I spray at home, delivered in pieces and touched up with a brush the front molding and such on site.

    Excellent work Gail! Something similar to that would look great in our family room. Got to get off of this thread the LOML sees those pictures!

    Another fine job, Gail. Wow, you should consider doing this stuff for a living -- you're kinda good at it. Like others here, I envy and admire your ability to take the summer off.

    Nice work. Not what I would consider "built ins", though. More like a free standing wall unit. Just curious, why did you not run to the walls and scribe in the stiles to fit? Those side gaps look like a haven for dust bunnies.

    Thank you,

    Rick, I consider built ins any piece that I secure to the wall. These I did, the design was to look like free standing furniture with the construction of a built in. They wanted the versatility to disassemble the unit and move someplace else. This until allows that.

    Yes, dust bunnies, but there is a little more room on the side than it appears, plenty of room to get in there and clean.
