With the cubbies and the countertop, the finished height would be somewhere around 45 inches. One of my main concerns with Version 3 is that I’m afraid the extra cubbies will make the entire thing too high to put a t.v. It might be better to opt for version 1 or version 3 just to keep things visually uncluttered. I really do like variation, but my little condo may very well be too small for something with too much variation. In the drawing above, I thought I’d try it out and see how it would look with the outer sections of cabinets at a different height, but in reality, I could put the drawers on top and keep all of the cabinets at the same level, like this… Then on top of the middle section, I would create open cubbies where game consoles, DVD players, etc., could be placed. On the two outer sections, I would add a drawer. The second idea would definitely require more work on my part, but it adds more storage and makes some things a bit more functional. I wasn’t planning on doing that (I thought I preferred the height variation just to add some interest), but the more I’ve thought about it, the more I think I like the uniform height. But as you can see, the countertop that goes all the way across will be at the same height on all three sections. So the two outer sections with the bookshelves will be 12 inches deep, and the middle section would be 16 inches deep.

I’m still contemplating bumping out the middle section about four inches or so, just because I have an idea for a way to conceal cords that will require a few inches behind the cabinets. I like this one because it’s pretty uniform, and there’s nothing busy about it. I’ve got more floating around in my head, but these are the three main ones.įirst, the simple design. So here are three different arrangements that I’m considering. (Don’t worry, the base cabinets won’t be wasted. So this weekend, I headed to Home Depot and picked up more of the upper cabinets that are only 12-inches deep, and I’ll use those in place of the deep base cabinets. They were just too big and bulky…and too “kitchen-y”…for my taste. Remember how my original cabinet design in the living room had standard 24-inch-deep base cabinets in the middle? I’m starting to narrow down the possibilities, and I would love your input.
