Hi everyone!
I hope you are all having a great week:).
I am thrilled to be waking up to colder mornings
& the crisp smell of fall in the air.
I apologize if I have been MIA for a bit.
I have been finishing up some projects
& starting some new ones.
Which brings me to a question.
What does $10 buy you these days?
Lunch,
a few trips to Starbucks,
a few gallons of gas,
some fresh flowers,
a few items on your grocery list?
Or maybe this......
Yup, 10 bucks for this baby, it was a vintage stereo but
I saw a new potential.
I knew with some elbow grease and a fresh coat
of paint my Savers find would be
perfect for behind my sofa.
THE BEFORE
I primed it good:).
The back panels were removeable,
so I used a spray adhesive and upholstered the two panels
with this woven trellis fabric.
THE AFTER

City Farmhouse is new to FB,

Have a great LONG weekend!

Wow Wow Wow, that turned out gorgeous! I wish I had a place for something like this. I would sure love a piece just like it. You did an amazing job. Ten bucks looks like ten million now!
ReplyDeleteThat is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it!!! You have a great eye and wonderful creativity to imagine it could look the way it does now! Definitely a ugly duckling to swan story. :)
ReplyDeleteTen bucks well spent! You made it look so NOW. Love your styling, too.

ReplyDeleteI would say this is the best $10 I have ever seen! Beautiful transformation BTW. I am going to give you a ring this morning and try to explain why you didn't hear back from last week! I hope you are doing well and that we are able to connect soon.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing. Your re-do is perfection!

WOW What a great transformation. That was a great $10 spent and I love how you used the trellis fabric at the back. It totally modernizes it. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great, Jen! There must be tons of these pieces out there. I remember my parents having a piece like this when I was growing up. You really gave it a new life with your makeover!
ReplyDeleteJen...I enjoy following your blog and this thrifty addition is wonderful! I love a great furniture find makeover ...and for $10 !!! You did a great job, and it's perfect for your room.
ReplyDeletethat is flipping amazing! why do i never find things like this? i also do not have your great refinishing skills. this is so good!
ReplyDeleteOh, it's really cute. I see you also added new pretty knobs. Like what you did with the fabric, but I think what does it for me is the two baskets full of logs.
ReplyDeleteHave a Great Weekend, Jen!
Completely fabulous, I would not have looked at that old stereo cabinet like that at all. You've opened up my eyes! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
ReplyDeleteYes!!! That looks so nice! It was kind of cool before but so much better now!
