Very nice , is that a ventilation fan on the inside that is a neat idea ?
The only thing that I would change is painting the whole stand to match the door and trim but it over all is very well planned :mrgreen:

I thought about painting everything the same but I was going for that whole country feel thing and yeah thats a fan it help keep the motor cool on the canister I mean it doesnt get hot but a "just in case" thing.

I especially like that you thought of childproofing the door. Good job.

I think it is awsome to put the fan in there along with the plugs keeps it clean looking and contained. I too like the child proofing ....I think that it does have a country flavor to it . :mrgreen: (I hope you werent offended at my remark to paint the whole thing )

No not at all like I said I had thought about it but we have a dinning room table (out of view ) but it has the same paint scheme. and yeah I have a very curious 20 month old who loves to get into everything so hence the child safty lock (now I just have to figure out what to do with the lines for the canister filter because he pulled one out today when the babysitter way here and drained a gallon of water out of the tank onto the floor :shock:
