Upgrading My Walls

[shanez]

My living room wall is a mess so I decided to put in some cabinets. Got the first part done and I think it turned out nice.

The previous mess:



Upper cabinets done:





Left a little room for pipes but haven't settled on the final display.

Left side:



Right side:



I got more lights to put on top that stick out a little plus lower cabinets with glass countertop and side shelves.

Happy so far with the Ikea cabinets but shopping there sucks royally.

Very nice! All of life's necessities right there at arms length.

Absolutely stunning!

Amazing! If the first picture is a mess, I'm not sure what that makes my living room...

Well done!

Very nice. Anchor it well, it would be a travesty if It all came down.

Oh yeah. I use snap toggles for just about everything I put on my walls:




I decided to change from open shelves to closed cabinets after the earthquakes this summer.

My pipe cabinet/drawers are from Ikea. I enjoy shopping at Ikea...it's the assembly I dislike.

Thanks, I am currently keeping my briar pipes in two similar drawers. I have a large pipe rack with tobacco container for my cobs.

Awesome! A fellow whiskey buff I see......you got some good ones in there. I love me some Jura (Superstition in particular), Willet as well, especially the pot still reserve.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

Classy and elegant, very nicely done!

Very nice Shane, very nice!

Seems like you have a ton of space for potables. You either have a drinking problem or a lot of friends.

Very nice. I noticed your Talisker 10, my favorite scotch. Looks like a great spot for a dram and a pipe.

I have some Willet pot still somewhere. In the picture is their estate bottled 4 year rye which is fantastic stuff.

I love Jura but sadly their Diurach's Own (middle bottle) is no longer available. If it hits the market again for a reasonable price I'll be grabbing a half dozen or so.

What are these "friends" you speak of? ?

It takes me a year or two to get through some of my higher end bottles, even sharing with friends, so they tend to build up. Also, I buy when deals come around. Prices are only going up and I might not have the money I have now in the future. I'm cellaring...
