I wanted to share a few pics of my upgraded Detolf cabinets I purchased from IKEA, as most of you know he's cabinets alone are great but when you put your own little spin on them the possibilities are in less. First thing I did was I kind of stole the idea from somebody else and just added a little spin to it. You will see I replaced the clear shelves with mirrored shelves, you can get nearest cut from any local glass company anywhere from $10-$20 for each shelf, my advice is to pay cash that way you can work with them a little bit on the price and hopefully get it discounted as much as possible. The second thing I did was an attempt to Hide the wires what I did was purchase a half-inch PVC tubing cut a slit down the middle of each tube measured appropriately painted flat black and stuff them in the corner please see pics for reference. The leading that I purchased was from IKEA and I picked up the LED diodes two lights per shelf and ran the wires through the PVC tubing in the back, again please reference the pics for details. And finally to hide the background I went to a print shop and picked up and it he said of backing that they mostly detail cars with and apply that to the back. I figured a flat black would be the best option for display purposes. I hope you enjoy and I surely hope that these pics help in your own remodeling of these fantastic cabinets ! Please feel free to ask any questions you would like I would love to help anybody out! Thanks for looking , Derek
