I bought two of the Magic Chef 7.0 cu ft freezers at HD for $158 each. I've been sitting on them for about two weeks now. We've had a contractor in our basement taking out a wall and removing the Berber carpet. We're going to have some 6" wide hand scraped hickory flooring installed on Monday/Tuesday down there. I'm excited about that and it should look great. Today, my wife made my keezer build even easier by telling me she wants it to be painted wood instead of stained hardwood. So it will probably be an antique white to contrast with the dark hickory flooring. That means the outside cabinet surround will use cabinet panels from Home Depot and painted an antique white (maybe distressed). I still may at least try something exotic with the coffin. I have some Mahogany, Figured Makore, Tiger Striped Maple, Cherry and Ribbon Mahogany that I could use on the coffin. But, I'm not sure that would go with the painted/antiqued cabinet.
Progress and photos coming soon.
