The story of my console
Life has been so busy with the end of summer fun, school shopping, and school starting. I am finally happy that I have time to post on my most favorite topic. Re-finishing furniture. Now that my theater room is done, I have decided that the console I painted is one of my most favorite pieces I have done in a long time. This piece of furniture was such a lucky find. We knew that we wanted a built in unit for the television but didn’t know if we were going to go totally built in or find a cool piece to go in the middle. We were walking around the…

Theater room – the finished product!

Covering that color!
We bought this house with the intent of remodeling everything. Some rooms in the house are better than others. There are defiantly two that tied for the worst. The girl’s bathroom, and our theater room. We decided that the first level we are finishing is the basement, and the theater room is on that level. Here is the beautiful before…the day we moved in picture of this lovely room. The picture seriously isn’t doing the room justice. The color is so dark, and the only lighting in the whole room are those sconces. It is a long dark dungeon. We put can lighting in the ceiling, and went to town…
