Finally finished up the big "barn doors" for my office/exercise/home theater/guest room /etc. As you can see, I still haven't figured out how I'll use the room. In my previous post, my problem with this room was the openness...
Now that we're done with the major renovations in the bonus room, I wanted to add a few DIY floating shelves around the flat screen. This wall is a little over 17ft long, which meant I couldn't go with...
