Straight out of the 70's

This is our "70's piece" and it was a pain in the you know where!!! Once again I forgot to take before pictures, which I am really bummed about, because it looks totally different then when we found the piece. I am thinking it was an old radio because it had speakers in the sides of it. It took us two hours just to unscrew everything and take out the speakers. And this sucker is heavy!
 
 
 
 
 
We left the top wood and painted the whole thing plain old red, which I just love! We used a product from our local hardware store (I forgot what it is called) that looks like old tin. We painted it and antiqued it to make it look old. The antiquing really brought out the details. We were thinking this would be a great TV stand and with the storage underneath you could put a blue ray player or your cable box. There are already holes in the back so all the wires can go through.
Or this would also make a cute buffet in a dinning room, a huge statement with the red!
 
 




 
We are now working on an adorable dresser that would be perfect for a little girls room.
 Can't wait to show you the pictures.
