Hello Everyone!
Thank you for visiting my blog. Today I will be walking you through how I made my own DIY dresser TV stand thing!
Its really easy I promise and it looks great after you add your own personal touches! You can also use this idea for night stands and coffee tables etc!
So here it goes, first take an old dresser. Mine was from my boyfriend parents basement. They were using it to store magazines so while they were on vacation in Vegas we decided to sneak it to our house and re model it! Muaaha
So after you steal or find your dresser like we did you want to make sure you clean it. Clean your dresser and wipe with paper towels.
After the dresser is clean you want to sand off any paint that was on the dresser before hand. Ours was already white so we just sanded a little to help the paint stick. After you are done sanding, make sure you wipe all surfaces clean before you start painting.
Now, pick the colour you want to paint your new TV stand or new dresser! We decided to go with white to go with our house decor.
Take all handles out of your dresser before you start painting because you don't want to get them dirty with paint.
Its now time to paint your dresser. Make sure to get in all the little cracks. If you want to do a TV stand similar to mine you will want to take off the front of the top two dresser drawers and paint the inside of the drawer because after it drys you will slide the drawer back in making it functional for storage purposes.
After your dresser is dry, you can add a top coat if you like. For us, we were on a budget of free and didn't have any top coats lying around the house. You can also attach your handles back on. For us, this is where it became fun! We wanted to change the look of the dresser and went with a simple handle. You can find new handles for your TV dresser at home depot, home hardware, rona, etc! Our handles were .95 each! Awesome!
Now add your fave decor around your TV and you are all set! You can either fill the drawers with baskets or any decor you prefer. For us it was easiest to leave them open so my boyfriend could easily access his xbox and laptop which stays plugged into our TV. For around the sides of the TV I added some shells from the beach behind our house and 2 candles. Our house theme is beachy and coastal so I thought I would stick with simple decor.
Hope this DIY TV Stand inspires you!
