I have been looking for a media console for FOREVER! I needed a longer piece, but not too wide, and medium height. Isn’t that way too specific? I’m too picky and cheap, so I really wanted to figure out a way to make myself one on my own. I saw this on my neighborhood group on Facebook:
I was able to get this for free! They are old/gross upper cabinets from a garage. They were perfect! Not too wide, long and medium height! I was so inspired!
I gave the cupboards a nice cleaning and sanding.
Okay now bear with me on this part because I lost all of my pictures of doing this project! ?. So I’m going to explain this with the few pictures that I do have:
I then used wood floor trimmings to give a fun detail to the piece. Decide on your pattern before you cut the wood, I rearranged these a bunch of times. You can also use wood pieces like this to make a design.
Here’s a break down of how I trimmed the wood pieces:
I found these amazing knobs on clearance, but found similar ones here and here.
I love them!?
I found this paint in the oops paint area, and decided to paint the inside of the console. Here’s a similar color.
I was too lazy to prime the inside, but the paint covered pretty well.
Looking great so far!
Love how it looks together!
I finally feel like the living room is coming together!
I love the surprise color when you open the console!
That was the whole project!
The cabinets before…
…turned console/entertainment center after! I love it!
Once again I was resourceful with my items to make decor and design my space. The total cost was $80! I am so happy with how it turned out, and love that it is exactly what I wanted! Hope you like it! Love you all!
