Do you ever need a certain piece of furniture but just can’t find something that works with your budget? I often start with furniture searching at our nearby Habitat Restore or on Facebook marketplace! For this project… I found tables that were the right size (about 36″ in diameter) but not quite… right. SO… time to make some DIY changes!!

I think I’ve mentioned before but our primary bedroom in this house is big. Real big. I was an addition from the 90s and it’s much more space than we need, but it also means that I had to get creative with how to decorate/ fill the space with furniture.

We couldn’t mount the TV at the new house and needed a place to put it. Restoration Hardware makes television easels that are amazing but also… like a LOT of money. So I spent a fraction of that to MacGyver our own tv easel and it works GREAT. Here’s how I did it.

I gave a plain Ikea Rast dresser a makeover using flexible trim, chic acrylic feet, new hardware and a coat of paint. Now it’s a show stopper for our front foyer!
