A little over a month ago, I purchased this outdated entertainment center at a thrift store.
Up until this past weekend, it had been sitting in the garage waiting for a make-over. Because of the cold weather, I brought it inside the house to paint.
At first, I was undecided what color to paint it. Since black is selling for me right now at my booth, I decided I would paint it black.
I first painted the whole piece with gray chalk paint and then applied black chalk paint. In some of the areas, I purposely left some of the gray showing to give it that worn look.
Using the same gray chalk paint, I stenciled a design on the front doors.
I used the same hardware that was on it. I updated it with black spray paint and some silver rub and buff.
With Charlie’s help, I replaced the back with a piece of bead board and added a shelf. The inside was also painted gray.
Now all I have to do is tag it and take it to my booth.
As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful week.
Gail
