My favorite piece that I have made over would have to be my current Media Console table. It started out as a dresser. I picked it up from a local ad and was able to load it in my car (barely). It's 6 feet long and very heavy. I painted the entire piece white. Next step was sanding, but after I started, I discovered some awesome detail in the front doors, so I sanded and sanded and sanded some more. Now I had a piece that was all white with 2 toned doors. It was too much white. I bought an orbital sander at Home Depot and went to town on the top. It was so easy, that I couldn't believe I didn't buy this helpful tool sooner. After the top was completed I grabbed whatever stain my husband had in the garage and voila! But I wasn't finished. The piece still looked like a dresser and a bit too "heavy" looking for my casual family room. Baskets! Anyone that knows me, knows that I have a little obsssion with baskets. So off to Michaels I went with the dimensions of the side drawers. I decided to go with 2 different basket colors. I had to drill 2 holes throught the back for the cable box and stereo wires. It's my favorite piece. How do you like it??
