A few weeks ago, we got a request from one of our customers to turn this dresser into a TV console. See it's transformation below!
Our customer didn't have a dresser on hand, so Hank and I went hunting and found this piece. It's a slightly different design than the one we did previously (see it here), which is exciting because we LOVE a new challenge!
First, we removed the top 3 drawers and center cabinet door. We also removed the top so we could have access to the inside. Hank then built boxes to fit the inside of each opening. These boxes can hold a cable box, gaming systems, you name it!
After the boxes were installed, we gave it a finished look by trimming them out with a small moulding. We also decided to add an updated baseboard to the bottom for a more modern look. Hank then reattached the top. Ready for sanding and painting!
Here it is after sanding...
After priming this piece with a coat of KILZ 2 (for latex paint), I added a base coat of brown.
The customer requested a rustic, red-orange look to bring a pop of color to her room. I decided to do a base coat of brown so that when it is distressed, the brown will be exposed.
Here it is with a couple of coats of the red-orange... Time to tone it down!
After some distressing and two coats of dark brown glaze, it really came together! Added new drawer pulls and this makeover is complete!
