I had the best time with this TV makeover!
Here is the console TV that I found on Craigslist in the "FREE" section...
(I don't know how I convinced my husband to pick this up with me, but he must love me a lot because he did.. and then only teased me a little about our "new tv").
See? and then he tried to take it apart (but gave up and watched the race instead).
So I took it apart the next morning (with helpers, of course!).Here is Penny reporting the news for me.
The actual glass television part was SUPER heavy.
I ended up rolling it into a pink tote for my husband to take to the curb.
Once I got it cleaned out, I painted two coats of aqua on the outside and two coats of yellow inside. And here's a secret... this was originally supposed to be a dog bed, HOWEVER- the dog wouldn't get in it and the kids wouldn't get out!
Above, you can see how I took off the back and covered it.
I used a tablecloth and cut a hole for the "window" (Also, the Radiation warning. eek!)
Play date!During the play date, I made a curtain out of an old pillowcase and hung it with a tension rod.
The girls haven't gotten out! So far, it has been a reading nook, a house, a bus, an airplane, a puppet theater, a *very* brief dog bed, a hideout and a store.
