I started with this:

And our living room began looking like this:


Add a can of black paint, an orbital sander, polyurethane, new hardware and a few hours time.... and you end up with this beauty:

  9. It looks amazing! I think I need a new TV stand now :). I am searching for an old dresser now....can I ask what size yours is? In my mind a dresser would be such a big piece in a living room, but yours looks just perfect with your TV.

    Any furniture painting tips for us beginners? :)
