So I’ve been listening to them a lot lately making up for lost time.Īs I was going through my collection I forgot some of the records I had and how cool some of the covers are. However, my record player randomly decided to start working again. My record player broke at one point and I wasn’t able to listen to them for a while.īuying records that you can’t listen to would just bum me out as you can probably imagine.

The lighter stain and satin finish fit perfectly with the feel of this piece. The exposed, natural, layered edges of the plywood added great character to this piece. It was such a simple and quick build since only plywood was used for the entire piece. I’m really happy about the way it turned out. I wanted it to look a little bit retro to give it a nostalgic feel, but that would still look good in a modern home. So, I set out to design a record cabinet that would offer a secure location for the record player and lots of storage for the records. I love the look of vinyl records being displayed.

We’ve caught her singing a little bit of every genre.įrom Prince’s Purple Rain to Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire, she loves it all. Maybe it’s because our daughter Zoe is such a music lover.
