I am looking for ideas for a custom cabinet for a 90g that will be the main focal point of my new livingroom. Maybe something a little larger in the "entertainment center style" but any ideas would be helpful.

I have the woodworking tools and skills, just need some inspiration (and a picture I can show my wife and say "something like this?").

How about some pictures your custom cabinets?

jcato,

Very nice!

Is that all stock trim?

Did you make the doors or buy them premade?

Canneralla,

Both are real nice! I have follwoed both of the build threads and like both cabinets. Those two threads inspired me to ask for more.

It's hard to get a good pic because it's black and it's dark in here

marino,

Wow! Another great looking showpiece.

Is that just stained birch ply and solids or is it maple?
Did you make the doors?

It is solie maple except for the moldings, which are pine. Here is a link to my construction thread if interested. Lots of pics.

I did not make the doors because I simply don't have the correct tools for raised panels. I bought them from a local cabinet shop.
