Coffee Bar: A Transformation from an Entertainment Center

Watch how I convert a heavy, outdated entertainment center into a stream-lined, clean, fresh, white coffee bar! I make some alterations to this piece of furniture that were surprisingly quick and easy to achieve.
This was a FUN restoration that YOU too can do to your outdated entertainment center (or one from a thrift store) with a few simple tools. I used electronic tools but this can easily be done with handheld tools such as a sandpaper block, handsaw, hammer and nail, paint and paintbrush!

Awesomeness ❕

[@70athens]

first of all great video and very detailed as detailed as you arer, it just made me laugh how you took off the board going accross a hammer ! (subscribed just for that) thank you for the vid and laugh

[@tableflippinghousewife]

Glad you liked it and had a good laugh.

[@samiam6382]

It’s really important to make sure to leave the line when cutting trim. If you put the blade centered on the line it will always be too short. You have to include the width of the blade. A great job of reinventing a throwaway piece of furniture. Love the farmhouse modern vibe.

[@tableflippinghousewife]

Thank you! I have heard that before. I will definitely remember to do so next time. Thanks Sam!

[@lukelucy1980]

Awesome Job. Thanks for sharing your process

[@zonyasvintage7859]

Beautiful job so much work but you made it look doable. Beautiful coffee bar!

[@tableflippinghousewife]

Thank you! It IS doable. The challenge is finding an entertainment center that has a platform the appropriate height for making coffee.

[@jeannetterivera8230]

[@hannahdawson2195]

What did you do to run the cords through the back?? You never showed that part

[@tableflippinghousewife]

There’s a hole in the back of the piece that you see earlier in the video. It was there all along. It’s where the cords of the TV that used to be in there ran through. I simply added a surge protector and ran the cord through the hole to plug in the wall.
