That is fantastic looking. Nicely done!!

Now, I can't wait to see it filled (the fun part!).

**edit** didn't scroll to the 2nd page! :shame: Looks awesome. Cost is brutal, especially with you providing the labor. :wow:

Yes you are rite Kraftig!! 90% of the cost is glass and i personal cant put my skills in that .

I thought of going with standard ikea cabinets which estimated $1700 plus not exactly the size the space .

So customization was costly but worth extra 600$ ..that means i have say no to 2 AA to cover cost :shame:

I think you made the right decision, plus from what I can see there is room for expansion. Save your construction plans, if I finish my basement I will do something similar if I can't physically merge within an existing wall :)
