Living Room Addition

When we bought our house, we started thinking about upgrading to a wall mount TV, but could never decide.  Thus, the old TV has been sitting on an old quilt in our living room for the past 5 months.  So it was time for a longer term solution in the form of a TV stand from Nick and Sean's old room that his parents gave us.  So we repurposed it to fit our current living room's colors and here's the handiwork.

After we took the shelves and doors off

Taking all of the pieces apart

Sanded and Primed

Painted and put back together

And the new World Market knobs that take the place of the old bronze handles

Overall I was pretty happy with this project after it was done, but it did prove to be much more work than I had anticipated thanks to the faux wood taking a LONG time to dry in between layers, and then we couldn't get the shelves back in which ended up being alright because I think I like this piece of furniture without the shelves anyway.
