Trying to identify and price this piece of furniture. We purchased it an estate sale. We believe it is a liquor cabinet but have not been able to find something similar online. Does anyone have an idea of the age and/or value of this?

You are so right, you'd not get near enough out of it. Especially now with gas prices being so high everyone and their neighbor are trying to get rid of extra furniture on Craigslist and it seems no one is buying unless the prices are dirt cheap! If it were mine to repurpose (something I have a small business doing) I would use the cubbies below the TV to convert into wine storage by making two sets of cut out pieces of wood. One larger for the back of the cubbie and the bottom of the bottle and a piece cut to hold the neck in a bit lower. Last time I was in Pier 1 they had stackable metal ones that just might fit if you don't have the proper tools to make your own. I'd also add another shelf about where the top of the TV is now for other liquor storage. It wouldn't have to be as deep as the cabinet so you won't have to worry about bumping your head when mixing drinks. You could add stemware brackets to the underside of this shelf too. Along the back of the cabinet below the stemware you could add shallow shelves for storing/displaying shot glasses. If the drawers can be moved up to the top two cubbies that would make for easier storage of cork screws, coasters and wine glass tags. I'm thinking you have an awesome idea here and I wish I had a couple armoires to do this too myself!

I have a lot of fireplace photos saved because I am going to be refacing mine sometime next year. There are so many options. If there is a local natural stone that is popular, use that. Is this house SW style? Do you already have furniture you're going to use, or are you going to be buying new? While the fireplace should fit with anything else you have, I think the fireplace should be as trend-free as possible as it's not something you want to change very often. You can always paint built-ins if the color doesn't suit down the road.

I think you posted on the wrong Forum - unless this is for a bathroom?
