So...I ran into this beauty at Savers for $15 & decided that even though it was pretty ugly...I could make it pretty...
I sanded her down...
and with a jig saw...cut off the two dividers on the "top shelf" of the dresser. Then I had a piece of wood cut to match the dimension and laid it down to create a smooth open shelf, instead of the 3 top drawers. I also put a piece of beadboard in the back...but this wasn't necessary, as you can't see the back in the finished project. Oops.
I primed the entire dresser and here you can see my wood "shelf" sitting on top...
I applied wood glue and then clamped it for a good 24 hours until I thought it was secure...
I put my freshly painted doors back in & bought some cheap white knobs at Hobby Lobby! Notice that they were the "handle" knobs, but I couldn't find any that I liked, so I just put 2 single knobs in each drawer and I think it turned out great!
Freshly painted light blue "entertainment dresser"...
And my TV is much happier sitting on a pretty piece of furniture! I didn't even notice the curves at the bottom of the dresser until it was painted & I love them. The top shelf provides a perfect spot for our DVD Player and Tivo and a spot for a woven basket in the middle...
Hidden in that basket??
Remotes & tv cords!
and those dresser drawers provide storage for ALL our movies!!!
Remember this???
It's now this...
