Well, I know it's been awhile, but with my Christmas deadline, I didn't have much time for updates. Well, first the bad news: I didn't make the deadline! I had a house full of people waiting for the big unveling, but they had to wait. It was a sad day for me.

The good news is that I was able to get it working for a new years eve party at my friends house. Let's just say, it was a HUGE hit!!! We stayed up till 4 in the morning singing karaoke.
Here's some pics:




Here's my first attempt at laminating: It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. The vertical grade laminate is very thin and brittle. When I was cutting it, it would splinter. I already chipped a peice off my cabinet. In my next cabinet, I will use regular grade laminate.


Here's a shot of my shielf:


I just thought this pic was cool looking.. with the sunset in the background....

I have a big gap in the picture updates here because it was Christmas eve and I acutally thought I was going to make it, so, I didn't have time for taking picutes. But here's the guts:



I tried to make a cool lighting effect with blue string lights, but they ended up not being bright enough. You can see the blue glow when the lights are low, but I wanted it brighter. Not sure if I'll leave it like that....

I'll post more pictures tomorrow....
