Re-purpose
Remember the Dresser I found at a garage sale
as soon as I saw it I new it would be perfect as a Tv stand … I was inspired by Liz Marie Blog from
Her post Dresser to Shelf’s.
Here is the Process I did to get My Tv stand
I wanted to add some new legs so I cut off the bottom of the dresser
Then Added the Legs
For the shelf’s I bought a sheet of plywood for $13 at home depot and had them cut it down for me and then took some of the fabric I had gotten at Wal-Mart last year to cover them
Then after I just came in for a min to check the laundry the wind blew and my newly painted Dresser seemed ruined .. Im not a HUGE! fan of Sanding and really didn’t want to start all over .. So I put my thinking cap on and remembered that I had a ton of paint left over from the Giani Kit that I used to do the faux granite look on my bathroom countertop.
So I first painted the top with some leftover paint from the Teal colored walls in the boys living room
Then took some old towels and started adding the layers
The colors I used for this .. I mixed the blue with white
after it dried I used the sealer that came with the kit
Added some molding
After everything was dry we brought it in .. Now sorry for the images it was a cloudy day I will take some better ones today when I get home .
Let me know what you think ….
