So a few months ago I stumbled upon this transformation here. I remembered my grandparents having one when I was a little girl so I called my grandma up and asked her if she still had it and she did! SCORE! She was nice enough to give it to me so I was extra excited. Anyways, here is was I started with:
This was after I took the back off:
Like the website, I wanted to cut mine in half so it wasn't so deep. Jeremiah and his dad did a great job. Then, Jeremiah cut and put in shelves for the piece. What a great guy!
Ready to go!
We went to lowe's to get the paint and stain and I was able to find a "oops" color on sale for $2.50 instead of $15. Great deal! The stain supplies cost around $10 but I have enough to do at least 2 more projects if not more. The staining wasn't too bad but I definitely think I will get better the more pieces I experiment on. I am really pleased with the way it turned out. I think I am really going to love it, I just have to find the perfect place to put it.
I changed the handles to go with a more vintage look. I love them!
Well, there you go! My first total transformation! I can't wait to do it again!

I loooove! My girls call me the recycle queen because I recycle anything I can so when I came across your transformation I have to give you a big high five. Great job, looks amazing.
This is great!!! I have a console TV waiting for me - I got the back off but for the life of me can't figure out how to get the guts out!!! Any tips? They're in with some funky rivet looking things (not a traditional screw of course).
super job! I've been dying to do this, but never have found a tv.
Your's turned out fantastic!

This is amazing! A great example of repuposing at it's best! I'd love to see this at our Be Inspired link party!
Just the other day when I saw a furniture re-do I was thinking wow, there isn't anything a talented blogger can't transform. I saw an old tv on something and thought, "hmm, what could anyone possibly do with THAT". Well now I know! That looks GREAT, nice job!!!!
