Dresser Entertainment Center

I received some questions about my “entertainment center”. I have no idea why these seem to be so expensive, and often, so ugly. I had the hardest time finding something I liked, so I just used a dresser. I bought this dresser for $35 at a garage sale a few years back{thanks Clare!} and painted it with paint+water so you can see some of the woodgrain through it. I did do the whole hinges in the drawers thing, only to find that our electronics didn’t fit in the drawers. So, I ditched the drawers and bought MDF, covered them with Fabric and used them as shelves. In retrospect, the hinged drawers would have annoyed me, and I would have always had them open, so I’m happier this way anyway. Just today I bought new, less ugly handles.

In the drawers: movies, Playstation garb, and snuggly blankets. So much more storage than an entertainment center, and so much cuter. {It’s all about the cute, isn’t it? Don’t ask my husband this.}
