So here is what we get to start with. It is your standard just like everyone else's house plant shelf.
This is what I am going for. I drew this up using a sketching program so that I could convenience my wife that it was good idea.
.Now
that I have the OK from the wifey I let the demolition begin. Turns out
taking out that shelf took away the shadows which made the room feel
bigger and brighter. The column on the right was only there to support
the plant shelf. I however liked how it broke up the wall in my original
design.
Since
our TV broke while we were moving in, we bought another one and I
mounted it to get and idea of the space. we ran all the wires and for
the TV and the surround sound before patching the holes. I built the
mounts for the floating shelves. I decided on an organized random
pattern. I then framed and installed the fireplace.” (see Lighthouse
Fireplace) I then started the install of the oak utility hardwood floor
I built the floating shelves as I went. Mostly because I wanted to see how they looked.
And
here it is other than a few touch ups I think it turned out really
nice. I had originally wanted to paint the wood but once I got it up I
fell in love with natural look of the wood. The nice thing is that I got
the utility oak wood flooring for around .99 a sqft. So that equates to
about $120 bucks for the wall and maybe another $50 for the shelves
wires and misc thing
