This project took me a lot longer than I wanted, but I love it. I worked a few hours each day and it seems I had to stop because I forgot one thing or another. I changed the way the top looked, I wanted to work with angles, so I framed out a 1x6 with two rows of mitered 1x4. It turned out better than I hoped, but I don't know if I will work with angles again... Like the plan says, it is HUGE!!!

Looks great!
Emily, this piece looks awesome! What did you do on the doors? It looks like wire.
I also noticed that your estimated cost was quite a bit lower than Hillary's cost. How did you keep your cost low? I am wanting to make this piece but I could really benefit from a smaller price tag!!! Again, yours looks great!
