I wanted a media console or tv wall that looked more intentional and bespoke than than the floating TV stand trend. My goal was to create a big moment in the room that felt like a statement piece by leveraging most of the 9.5 foot ceiling height . What I came up with was a entertainment center that feels like a luxury Restoration Hardware inspired built-in. Like a piece of the room’s architecture with an industrial edge, balanced with a refined, minimal layout. The shelving unit uses five vertical black pipe columns that run through drilled holes in distressed wood planks. Four rows of shelves are supported by right-angle pipe fittings underneath. The free hanging planters and staggered heights contrast with the structured industrial form and add organic warmth while catching natural light near the window.

My aim was to craft a striking LED moon for Halloween that could serve as a centerpiece in a larger display or stand alone as a captivating piece of décor. To achieve this, I decided to use acrylic for its durability and light-diffusing properties, paired with LED strips to create a realistic, glowing effect. The project began with an image of the moon's surface details, which I then traced onto a large acrylic sheet. I applied a frosted coating to one side of the acrylic to enhance the diffusion of the LED light. Next, I cut a hole in insulation foam board and affixed the LED strips around the perimeter’s back edges, ensuring even light distribution. After assembling the components, I tested the LED lighting in a dark room to ensure the desired glow was achieved.
