This shuttery old thing used to house a record player in a previous life. For all you youngsters out there, “records” were these round shiny things that played music. No, no you’re thinking of CDs. CDs were round shiny things that also played music during the days of yore – back when people couldn’t download libraries of music in two nanoseconds onto their phone while driving. Ahh, how far we’ve come!
And this old cabinet has stepped out of the stone age as well, now serving as a flat-screen TV stand. Courtney picked it up off craigslist for a grand $15, removed and replaced the doors and finished off with a warm gray. I’m loving the latticework. Great job! See more on her blog Bowdenisms.
