This old vintage console stereo looked like it had seen better days, but Luann saw potential in transforming it into a bold and useful furniture piece to be used in another part of the house.

From Luann:

Primed and painted with high gloss oil based paint in cobalt blue. Made false door fronts and drawers in center section, covered with ikat fabric. Finished up with new hardware. Now a stylish sideboard with plenty of inside storage for linens, dishes, even a bar!

Thank you Luann!
