before and after :: TV cabinet

25 April 2011

You might remember back in January I bought this fabulous vintage sideboard for a mere $80. I had a definite idea about what I wanted for a TV cabinet and this was exactly what I'd been looking for.

I painted the timber laminate top and sides in gloss white and the door and interior in semi gloss colours. I'm really thrilled with how it turned out. The aqua and orange bottles are mineral water bottles that I painted with the left over paint, and the two vintage stools are roadside finds which I covered using fabric from my stash. I framed vintage fabric in embroidery hoops as a bit of a stop gap until I work out what I'd like to hang on the wall. What do you think?

I'm loving the personalised Puzzle Print and the Sleeptime poster is a sweet twist on the bus scroll concept.
