Family Room Built In Units

[Fulton Fine Woodworks]

Thanks for all the great posts and ideas everyone.  Although I have been a reader of the forum for some time, I have not contributed so here I go. 

This is a completed family room project.  I prebuilt as much as possible in my shop.  This made for quick assembly on site.  Because of the large room with 16' ceilings, it required larger sized units to match the scale.  They are nearly 9' tall and 4'5" wide.  It is constructed with solid and ply poplar using dominoes & pocket screws for joinery.  The biggest challenge of this project was scribing against the stone on the fireplace.

First welcome to the FOG!  I hope we get a chance to see more of your projects.  Alan is correct that Kreg will hone into the beadboard, but the fact that yours are not painted will really catch his eye!

Never usually care for the beadboard backer, but that really works well on that.  What width are the boards?  Very nice and welcome to the forum.  And maybe you can give them some wood scraps for the fireplace.  Looks emtpy there.

Thanks for the welcomes and comments!  I try to urge my clients to go direction of beadboard most of the time because it can be so boring on the back of shelves and it really dresses it up.  The width of the boards, if you mean the fronts is 5 1/2" wide on the two uprights on each side.  The fireplace is empty because it was a new house and just completed, never noticed it does look funny empty.

Welcome to FOG Ronnie.  Nice work.

Curious how you finished the pieces - you said it was Poplar, but that is a really nice finish on Poplar!

Applying sanding sealer first is the key to not having a splotchy finish on woods like Pine and Poplar.  Then gel stain and poly.
