Entertainment Center

In a previous post I shared some pictures of a piece of furniture in progress. Well, here is the finished piece!

this entertainment center is made from found and salvaged wood. The only things purchased where the drawer slides (new) and the drawer pull which I found at City Wide Garage sale here in Austin.

I decided to give it an aged white-wash look. The shelves and the two front panels at the bottom where previously stained. I liked contrast of the light white-washed wood with the dark stain so I decided to keep them how they were.

This was a fun piece to build. It was definitely a challenge finding enough materials to complete it. For a little while I thought I may have to purchase some wood but came across some bits and pieces that some friends were getting rid of.

The idea for this came out of how much I disliked my old entertainment center. It was very short, did not have a lot of storage space and was just a cheap pre-made bit of garbage we purchased at an enormous chain that will remain nameless. The lower drawer is not very deep or shallow but is very wide. It is perfect for video and dvd storage.
