I followed the original plans, mostly.  I mitered the corners on the trim and 1x2s, and I used a 1x2 just under the top instead of closing the back since I went with a dark stain (General Finishes Gel Stain- Java, Deft spray poly satin).  This is one of my first projects, and I got to play with a block plane, gel stain, pocket-hole plugs, moulding, table saw, and my nail gun for the first time.  I was especially pleased how well this matched the dark cabinets in the room.  Man, stain is a pain.  I may make everything in raw cedar from now on.
