This is, by far, the biggest
furniture makeover we have done
date.
We took this old 60’d stereo
cabinet we found at a church sale
and revamped it to a versatile
piece for today’s living.
The slots that used to hold record
albums now hold dishes.
Let me tell you this—this piece did
require a major husband
intervention. Diane’s husband Craig
spent many hours re-configuring the
piece and trimming it out with
beadboard, crown molding and
edge trim.
We also added caster wheels to
make this piece super versatile.
It is finished on the back with beadboard also,
which makes this piece a great “island”.
We painted the inside one of favorite shades of
blue and the outside is Sherwin
Williams Creamy.
We love the way it turned out and are most
thankful for Craig’s carpentry work.
It’s now got a price tag on it and ready
for purchase at the consignment space.
I’m not sure if we’d take on a project quite this
extensive anytime soon, but we are definitely
happy with the final outcome.
Where would you use a piece like this?
Wouldn’t it be great for entertaining?
We’ve started searching yard sales for caster
wheels. This is the third piece of furniture
that we’ve added wheels to.
This was definitely a “think outside the box”
project.
Hope you are preparing to have a great spring
weekend.
