Your Home Maintenance Partner
There’s nothing wrong with the standard IKEA TV stand, but what if you could transform it into something so much more beautiful?
Shabby
Before every spare space of our home was filled with old furniture I cruised Craigslist and shopped local thrift stores looking for furniture to refinish.
This little beauty along with a couple other small pedestal tables that I had to have, was found via CL in a small town not too far away.
Before
:
I started out with a simple hand built “antique” pantry made from what was once most likely standard sizes of lumber and sheet metal in the panels on the doors.
Though it had taken a beating over the years I decided not to smooth out or fill in any of it’s flaws before repainting it. They gave it character.
Some might say so did the, what I call the “eighties bangs”, at the top front, but not I. So off those pieces came.
