Updated TV Unit.


Today l thought l'd share with you, my new TV unit....l'd been on the lookout for another one for ages but just couldn't find the right thing....The one we had, useful as it was......was never to my taste, you know the kind, brown, dark and chunky.
This one l found at the salvos ($100)  had a previous life as a dressing table. The mouldings and carved legs are what sold it, but l also love that l can hide the dvd player and other attachments on shelves (hubby made) inside the central cupboard.
I gave it a coat of paint and was pretty happy with how it turned out. You can see the before at the end of this post.






l used three paint colours and the brown of the underneath timber to achieve the different colours and layers.  l also reused the original handles. The dvd's stack nicely into the drawers and are much less hassle to find.


l finished updating my inspiration board so l could prop it up in front of the telly.


Lovely new book from Jean D'arc living...... Brilliant Reuse.

  

 
 
 

  


A couple of Christmas pressies. Angel, vase and hanging trinket.... all new, but made to look old.


Of course l was already well into it before l remembered l might need a pic....oops:-)

If you'd like to see my other dressing table makeover....it's here, it lives in our family room.

Well another week's almost done.....hope you enjoy what's left of it and have an awesome weekend too. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Til next time,

Bron.

  2. Another wonderful and inspirational Post on upcycling. The makeover is exceptional.
    Fascinating to see the 'before' photos of what it previously looked like.
    I am in love with your moodboard. I also love the idea of placing it in front of the t.v.
    Have a great week Bron.

    1. Tam....what a lovely surprise. Hope everything's going well in your life, and l wish you a very happy new year to you and yours. Thanks so much for the lovely compliments, it's so nice to hear from you. Christmas was ok, a bit sad though with (too young) brother in law dying just a few weeks beforehand, but we made it as good as we good and Sis was/is fantastically brave. l must tell Mum you've popped in for a visit, she'll be stoked. She's still fighting the good fight and is going back into chemotherapy in the near future, but is holding her own at this point in time, she has a great attitude and is a bit of a star really :-) (No bias here of course....haha!!)
