When my dad came to live with us I gave him the wrapping paper dress for his room & that left me with needing something for our TV to go on in the common area upstairs.
I found this cute little table at an auction during the fall....
It came with a pretty mirror that attaches to the back. But, it was a perfect fit for what I wanted to use it for. Trust me I will make good use of that lovely mirror. You can see the little notches on the back where the mirror goes.
As you can see this pretty lady needed a little sprucing up & I had just the right beauty products for her.
I choose to use this piece as our console table because of the drawer space in the middle. I knew I wanted a space for the cable box. Have I ever mentioned I really do not like cable boxes (or cords showing for that matter). I like neatness!
This little space gave me a spot to put the cable box in & it looks just fine.
I had to make a few adjustments of course! I took the drawer out, but had to cut a hole in the back for the cables to go through. Of course this particular piece it had a nice back on her! It was a solid piece of wood about 1/2 inch thick.
I painted her in DecoArt Inc paint in a color called Timeless.
I've used this color on a couple of other pieces of furniture and I just love how it looks. It is true timeless color. It just goes nicely with just about everything.
I distressed her a bit & gave her a nice waxing!! I took the knobs from the middle drawer & used them on the side drawers & I love it!
I hope everyone is staying warm & thawing out a bit. We have another snow storm moving in our way... BOO! I will say I absolutely love where we live for so many different reasons. But, this year winter has just kicked us hard this year. I am ready for spring!! I have lots of painting to do & I need temps to rise a little...for my paint to dry and for my sanity :)
