Decoupaged TV Cabinet

Remember this hutch?


Remember that I turned it into a bar for our home office?

Well the bar is no more.  Ok, to be quite honest the bar has been moved to an undisclosed location. 

Problem number one, sharing a desk with my husband just didn't work out for me.  I have a neat desk policy that he could not maintain.  So in its spot went my own desk.


Problem 2, I committed to Vintage Revivals Fearlessly Finding Awesome Challenge to save my living room, which meant that my tv needed a new home.

and unfortunately a much smaller cabinet.  

That's where my old bar come into play.  I painted it yellow and decoupaged it in New York style post cards, articles, and such that I found on the internet.



This cabinet makes a 42" tv look like a 60" tv.

Heres a close up of my decoupage




What did I do with the top you might ask?

Well, its now sitting next to my fireplace in a semi new finish ( I added some yellow striped and distressed it a bit), but it still needs to be styled.


More saving my living room to come.

Don't forget to link up to Furniture Friday this week.
