Television Stand

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

We used to have a very ugly television stand. The wood veneer was like plastic, and it was very beat up from several moves.

I decided that rather than buy a new stand, I’d make the old one pretty. Sadly, I didn’t take pictures of the process, so you just get an after:

There’s going to be an after after, too. Look closely at the paper on the left side of the doors:

It’s bad enough that the paper got all crinkled, but one side is upside down! There are seams on the back or I could’ve just turned them around. I’m going to take the doors off and either re-do them or leave it be.

Isn’t the color awesome? I tried to match the blue birds on the paper. I got the Snow & Graham paper from Paper Mojo–it’s the fourth one down the page.

It goes pretty well with the new chairs we got.
