Thanks, ScottG and wickedfun, it's definitely a labor with some love.:W
I reconfigured the front above the window to install a straight panel instead of the original curved panel. I added in a stringer outboard of the electrical boxes and some angled braces that run from that to a ceiling joist. I did it like this so I could have a good orientation for the electrical boxes.

The installed paneling next to the front window:

Let me also share a screwup. I forgot to reset my zip bit, the one I use to route out the box openings. I had the cat5e cable that ditributes the audio from the TV location against one of the boxes and the extended zip bit parted it completely, inside the paneling. Eight soldered splices later and all is well.
