Teaching an Old Dresser New Tricks
The Scoop:
- bought this dresser at a garage sale for $30 (thanks Clare!)
- sanded down all of the paint
- the wood was a little too dry and spotty to stain, so I colorwashed the piece with latex paint and water.
- sealed the paint, and protected the wood with varnish
- removed the drawers
- had MDF cut at home depot ($7 total) into two shelves for the cable box, dvd player, etc.
- covered the MDF with calico fabric from JoAnn’s
- Cut holes in the back of the dresser to feed the cables to the electrical outlet
- Voila! Our new TV Bench
