Step 1: Determine the size of the opening

The size of the opening has a lot of do with the look and operation of the door. 

I wanted a built in look, with 3 sections.  this allowed me to have the certain bookcase be my "door"

My approach was to find a way to have the bookcases appear to be static, yet roll open when needed.

As you can see in the photo, I have an arch to deal with as well as an opening of about 59"

I decided to get 2 CD towers from IKEA (Billy model) and one 30" bookcase from Walmart.
