Turkish Furniture To Go



In between fishing and beach walking, Mark has given his daily trips to Home Depot a purpose with his latest project. We needed a media center... a long media center, that would balance out Mark's big TV and store all of the media stuff we have, plus speakers, woofer, electronic equipment, discs and...my record player!

I designed the piece and put the specs together for Mark. Then the negotiations took place. I think for every feature I altered for Mark, I added another! After a while, he stopped questioning the specs so they wouldnt keep growing.

I added the drawers - which didnt bother him at all and ended up being a great idea for CD storage...and possibly small animals. He liked the sliding doors cause he could go to the glass vendor and get shower door tracks. I thought the challenge was really cutting out a lid from the top that you can lift to access the record player, without impacting the front of the piece.

Well, he's finally done and we love it!! The media center has a sleek, modern look and it balances the large TV. And everything fits!
