Repurposing A Repuposed TV Console
Here is our Week #1 project from One Month to Win It!
The Theme was: Preserving a Memory
The Theme was: Preserving a Memory
My Grandmother had all of these awesome old pics,
but she had no idea WHO they were
except that they were our ancestors.
I didn't want them to end up in the trash.
I knew that I wanted to use them and preserve them in some way.
I was out at a garage sale and found this already repurposed cabinet.
The man at the sale kept telling me he made it.
I thought he was crazy until I realized that it used to be an
old TV console with the tv removed and shortened. It was only $3.
He was so proud of it, I don't think he really wanted to sale it.
It had a lip on the top of it so I knew that it would be perfect for the project.
This is probably what the cabinet originally looked like.

Here is where the original cabinet was shortened.
I removed the speakers and replaced with some wood panels.
I then painted the entire cabinet black.
I gathered all the pictures and began putting them into place.
I poured a on box of
Pour-On Epoxy Finish Is Equal To 60 Coats Of Varnish And Provides A Gorgeous High Gloss Appearance
to the top to protect and seal all of my pictures. This stuff is awesome. Its like shiny liquid glass!

This shot really shows off the thick SUPER glossy finish!
I put a basket in the empty space.
I will now have a one of a kind family heirloom
covered with my ancestors preserving thier memory.
It is so cool to look at all of them and
think that they are my relation some how.
that's VERY cool. Great idea!

ReplyDeletewow! i am amazed at how that transformed. i just lack an eye for a vision like that. i can not see past the furniture that i do not like....
ReplyDeletewhat a great job!
OMG I love that cabinet remake! The idea of putting all the pictures on top and sealing with the superglaze is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love it and believe I'm going to do something like it. It reminds me of an old desk my grandmother had she had all kinds of old pictures on it under a piece of glass. I loved sitting and looking at all the pictures wondering how they were related to me.
ReplyDeleteGREAT job! Love the idea!
ReplyDeleteI just linked to this great project on my blog: eveofreduction.blogspot.com! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteWow I've been looking for more ideas for old consoles!
ReplyDeleteI think this is SO AWESOME, but IF it was mine, I would put pictures on the front as well, as there are frames already there, but each to their own, of course. But sometimes I have a tendency to over due, blushing, wink... Wonderful work & thank you for caring & sharing... "Brightest blessings always"...
ReplyDeleteHow long has it been since you finished this? I ask because I am wondering if your photographs have started fading. My dad did this on a coffee table about 36 years ago and found that the photographs started fading after a while. He found out this happens when you don't mix a little Elmer's glue in with the epoxy. So I'm wondering if you still need to do this or if the particular brand of epoxy you used doesn't warrant this.
ReplyDeleteChanging environmental conditions has made people more self-aware and regulated. Further, the air has become drier that leaches out the moisture from that of skin from that of lips. In general, population to avoid dryness and moisturize the lips, people are using lip glosses more and more. These changing conditions have increased the demand for Lip Gloss in the market world that led to the further movement of the business of lip balms in the upper direction. As a result, many manufacturers have come forward with new flavors and designs to attract new consumers. In this hard competition, Lip Balm Packaging is the very first thing that can provide leverage to the manufacturer to attract consumers and increase sales. Further, Lipstick Boxes are crucial to ensure the safety of the lip gloss as well as to preserve the cosmetic product.
