I Heart Craigslist

I found this beautiful baby on craigslist a few weeks ago. (yippee, hooray, cartwheel, jumping jacks...can you tell I am excited!)  It is exactly what I have been looking for.  The dresser has been sitting in my garage waiting for its (re)finished job in order to make its way into my family room.  
Don't you just love my hardwood floors in the Garage?  Just kidding!  Because of the predicted WINTER STORM that is approaching Southwest Missouri this future entertainment center made it's way into our family room a little early.  (You know the "hurry let's clean the garage so we can get the vehicles in before the storm".)  Now I am trying to decide what I am going to do with this incredible piece.  

Choice #1 is a similar project completed by one of my FAVORITE bloggers The Frosted Gardner

Before

After

After with a view of the electronic drawer...I love that it is hidden!

Choice #2 a dresser converted into an entertainment center by Refreshingly chic

Before

After with the bottom two drawers converted to electronic shelves.

It is so hard to decide.  I love them both.  
Which design would you choose?

Family room (re)finished job is in progress.  I have pictures to share with you soon!!!!

  1. LOVE them both! I'd go with the second one...just because I'd be afraid to have the electronic components inside a "drawer" without any ventilation. Can't wait to see what you do with it. :)

  2. My favorite is the Frosted Gardner's version. Just drill some holes in the back for ventilation. Can't wait to see it done.pam
