    wardrobe makeover

    I finished my son’s bookshelf/chest of drawers/tv stand thingy that used to belong to my little brother, but doesn’t anymore since he is a college man and has college man furniture quite a while ago, but I never did a proper post.

    I love this thing because it’s so sturdy and holds loads of stuff. But this thing is at least 10 years old, and was in need of a little facelift. 

    So, I cleaned it up, painted it with Foggy Coast 131-3 by Mythic PaintPC122804

    and used black chalkboard paint by RustOleum on the cabinet and drawer faces.

    I also added a couple of hooks but took one down because it needed to be moved over a bit.

    And now it looks like this:

    I haven’t decided what to do with the big open square in the back. My brother had a huge TV that occupied the entire space, but I don’t think I want a TV in this room.

    I thought about making a memo board, a bit like this one, or even just adding a piece of plywood, and building shelves for more storage…but for now, it shall remain open. If you have any thoughts or suggestions I’d love to hear. What would you do with the space?

    Talk to you in the next one!
