Turning a Dresser Into a TV Console

 

Want to see a peek of what we spent way too many hours doing this past weekend?

We moved the dresser (that was in the foyer blocking that annoying vent) to our family room.  I couldn’t look at that other ugly console for one more minute.  Problem was, we’re using our “biggest” TV now, and the components (which we also have more of now) won’t fit on top like they did in our last house:

I love TV, but I detest cords and cable boxes.  Why can’t everything just work and be pretty, too?

So, my husband spent waaay longer than anticipated fishing cords here and there, drilling holes and removing drawer glides.

We’re not quite finished but everything fits now. I still have to paint the inside of the drawers and possibly add some trim to the shelf fronts.
