Records are the media of choice at this gorgeous house in Santa Monica.

Custom entertainment centers are a staple project for a cabinet maker. Hiding televisions, though now less intrusive with flatscreens, and audio equipment is a common priority for refining the decor of a home.

Through this little window into what people organize and store in their homes, I have noticed a resurgence in vinyl record collections and audio equipment. Whether a dedicated media room, in the living room or a home office, I hope it is a long-term re-discovery, and not just a trend.

and West Hollywood too...

We have always been fans of records. We recently (finally) set up our audio system at the woodshop. We bought all the components off eBay. It sounds great! Of course, we don’t play it while the planer is running. These days, I wish I had my “Off The Wall” LP.

We stacked four of our reclaimed wineoak cubes to make our storage tower.

Our shop is clearly not alone. The rich sounds of vinyl pair beautifully with the beauty of wood. I saw this piece on dwell magazine’s website. The bamboo gives it some eco-credit and it is available through Test Collective.

An all-in-one record storage and audio center

Audiowood makes beautiful one-of-a-kind wood turntables.

This is only one of the amazing pieces by woodworker, Joel Scilley.

Sounds bring back memories. They come with history, like a piece of heirloom furniture.
