We like to use a combination of MDF, pine, hardwoods, and drywall for our built-ins.Don’t think you need to stick with all one material for all parts of your project.

There are some places where you’ll want to use MDF for it’s straightness, while there will be other places where a small piece of wooden trim will looks best once everything’s painted.Plain painted MDF edges are not the prettiest thing so plan to cover up the rough, exposed ends if you go with MDF, like we did.in Baby Jack’s room.

.. How Much Time Can You Spend?.This desk and shelving unit in Kennedy’s room looks pretty simple now that it’s all done, but it took Chris about 4 days from dawn til dusk to get everything to fit just right with all the weird angles and uneveness everywhere in the room.

And then it took me another full day to paint it!

If you’d like your project to go a little quicker and you’re dealing with just a straight wall, consider using pre-made shelving units for all or some of your project and just attaching them to the wall and trimming them out with some moldings.Locate the middle of your strip and fold it in half there!.
