Ugly Cabinet Turned Adorable TV Console

One day while shopping at my local Goodwill I found this beauty for a mere $5! I had no idea what I would do with her when I got her home.

First, I began the process of “fixin’” her up  by taking her apart. It was a pain in the rear…but worth the effort!

Next, I primed the entire thing with Kilz Primer.

Third, I painted all the wood with Black Satin Paint that I had on hand.  The front pieces were actually plastic, so I spray painted them Rustoleum Canyon Black spray paint.

After 2 coats of black, I added black gingham fabric to replace the ugly orange.

Once I got her put back together I knew EXACTLY what I was going to use it for, a console for our new flat screen TV.

Not bad for $5, some paint, and a little elbow grease!
