When we bought our house two years ago, I was very excited about the thought of having a windowless air conditioner in the bedroom to keep us cool throughout the summer. However, I soon realized that an in wall a/c unit was very hard to hide, especially since it’s the first thing you see when you enter the room. I spent quite a bit of time looking around online for different cover solutions but couldn’t find anything that would complement the style of decor that I was ultimately aiming for in that space. So, I made my own!

I was able to get all the supplies I needed for under $30 and it only took me two hours to make. The best part of the cover is that I can use the a/c with the cabinet doors closed, and I can also hide the cord inside it when it’s not being used!

Thank you, Jolie! For more information on Jolie’s adorable cover check out Vintage Meets Glam.
