Entertainment Centers:

The wide variety of styles pictured below is meant to show how I try to accommodate my customer's design elements.

This stereo/entertainment cabinet was to be "long and low" with a flat screen TV installed on the wall above. The middle section was raised to break up the long top and to frame the TV to go above. 12 shelves in all, with 8 on slides to give easy access to the back of components, and smoked glass doors. In cherry, this piece is 10 feet long, 20" deep and 30 " tall. $4350.00

A "spin-off" design based on the stereo cabinet above, done in cherry. 70L 30T 20D $2850.00

A Prairie style spinoff of the cabinet at the top of the page with artglass panels.

Tapered, paneled sides make this Prairie/Arts & Crafts style entertainment center something special. Done in white oak with a waterproof finish, work such as this runs about $4675.00 48 1/2H 60W 24 1/2D.

Subtle design elements give this piece, done in cherry, an Asian flair. The shoji screen design was influenced by Prairie window patterns. The pictures I took in the shop turned out so poorly, I decided to include an image taken in its intended space. Sliding doors house TV and stereo equipment, and for you folks still using record players, the top is hinged. 37 1/2H 51 1/2W 24 1/2D $3125.00.

In many ways, this design to me, is the esssence of the Prairie style, Chicago circa 1900 - 1910. Done in quartersawn oak, this entertainment center, though it looks like an antique, will accomodate the new HDTV size and lots of stereo equipment. The TV compartment has a pullout shelf behind pocket doors. Water - based stain was used with a tung oil finish. Dimensions 48H 65 1/2W 27 1/2D. $3950.00.

I include this picture of a Prairie style entertainment center to show what the word "custom" means. The customers designed the piece as well. A TV unit goes in the center. The design for the glass panels was provided by the customer, and the colored glass was chosen to match a pair of Prairie lamps I did for them last year. Stereo equipment goes in the right cabinet and the left cabinet houses a pair of revolving CD towers owned by the client. The two large openings above each cabinet house speakers and the other shelving is halogen lit to display an extensive collection of artwork. The support rails for the shelves (2nd picture) were "blacked out" by ebonizing. Otherwise the light colored horizontal rails might compete with the glass design with doors closed. A piece almost totally made up of custom aspects - maybe this is where the word custom-er comes from? $4125.00.

This Prairie style entertainment center was done to accommodate a large selection of CDs to be housed in two bays of drawers on either side of the stereo equipment. The bays are partially hidden by artglass doors. There is room for about 1,200 CDs. Pocket door on middle equipment bay. Totally custom piece, drawing supplied by the customers. In cherry, $5250.00.

A contemporary example of a large center bay astride smaller bays to house media. I think the customers were intending to sit a flatscreen on the main bay. Lots of space in this one. If interested in something like this and would like to discuss options, please contact me.
