DIY TV Console Makeover

[@dglesterhardunkichud4017]

Wow!! The painting and the wood top are amazing. Great game selection too. BOTW looks MUCH better while being played on your tv stand. 🙂

[@juliekeenum2824]

[@CJ-qj3pk]

You are so talented!! I wish you were my daughter!!!! I have a table, chairs and hutch I would love to change/refinish. Excellent job and I hope to see many more of your projects.

OMG!! You are so creative. You look at trash and see treasure. I don't have that vision. You did an awesome job!! Please keep doing these types of videos❤️❤️

[@peggymohr7899]

Yes You are one brave dude. I love your courage and dedication to diy's Thanks for sharing. Good job

[@dqchris22]

This is fantastic!! I was thinking having someone make a top for me for a lego table, but now I definitely think I can do it myself. I will just have a bigger edge piece so it can go up (need a lip for the legos) and down to look finished. I was just going to place it on a couple of 2x2 cube storage cases anyway. Perfect!

[@lifestylebyvita]

You did an awesome job!

[@alexise.2270]

Truly a recreation and saving something from the dump. This looks great!

[@joywalsh6150]

You made that look so easy, and im so glad you didnt use that really dark red brown stain thry keep using on nifty all the time!!! The lightness goes so well with your colpur scheme!!

[@joshuawaddell6640]

I love turning IKEA type furniture into something new and sharp looking. Great video! I've said it before, and I'll say it again... you are so pretty ❤️

[@vamps4me]

New subscriber here. You inspire me to start trying diy projects .. wish me luck.😀

[@JMOM1968]

I really love this one!

[@CreativeHomescaping]

It looks great! Congrats on a job well done. It reminds of a buffet we have.

[@spunkywaves8162]

It turned out fabulous, you are so talented. I love your furniture makeovers.

[@deborahharris4460]

Love it! You are so darn smart!!! Thanks for inspiring us all!

[@maryd4890]

I love the way this turned out! You are so creative. I have been binge watching your videos and I loved your video of how the mermaid pillow was ruining your life. But now I have also succumbed to the dreaded pillow struggle.. with the pillows on your pottery barn couch! I cant get them out of my head haha 😂 In my attempts to not be creepy I checked out home goods, tj maxx, etc. For them or something similar but to no avail. If you could please let me know where you got them it would help me so much! Love your videos thanks for sharing your awesome projects and giving people confidence to tackle projects that seem daunting 😊

[@kimjensen717]

Great job! Piece looks beautiful!

[@yazzislife]

You make it all look so easy but I know if I did it it would be a mess lol thank you for sharing, you did an amazing job :)

[@Rainbow_1981]

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

[@sabrinamariesayre]

[@MariaOrtiz-vb9zs]

Thank you so much for sharing it came out beautiful 😘 as always i enjoy very much watching your videos... yes please pocket hole demo would be nice 👍🏻... Great job I love it....

[@MichiganLifeMama]

WOW you did great!!! I just recently redid my coffee and end tables and i totally used my hubby to hold the board down that were slightly warped. Next is my dining table which you inspired me to redo. Im super nervous but hope it turns out as nice as ur stuff does!

[@TheDIYCottage]

You can totally do it!! I’m so glad I could inspire you 😁

[@renewalof48]

That is very nice.

[@catherineaussie7121]

Turned out great. Clever girl. Would love a kreg jig tutorial x

[@gionun8950]

You're very creative & great at DIY. Tfs

[@judyparks5016]

I love your channel!!! I'm a new subbie!! You are so creative! You are like me, I'll try anything!! Lol. Tyfs. HUGS

[@Shannon2972]

I really love the tv stand. I am redoing my place and my sister has given me some old end tables and a coffee table....Wonder what I could do with those to make them look better. Also, I am going to do a countertop in my kitchen similar to how you did the top on your tv stand. I might just use plywood though then stain it and then poly it. You are a true inspiration girl! Keep these videos coming so we know what to do. I also have one of those large hutch pieces like the one you had trouble with. I want to paint it but I don't know if I have the strength!!! LOL

[@TheDIYCottage]

You can do it! Just be sure to mark where the hardware comes off of! 😵😜.

[@Shannon2972]

I need a friend like you to help me!! Thanks for the confidence booster!

[@lcrisci2002]

Great transformation! 👍 Tyfs! 😄

[@conniesettles961]

skills...great video!

[@kathyr2339]

Great Job!!! You are a very hard worker girl!!!

[@defluffy2487]

Good job girl!!

[@jcrefasi1]

Binge watching your previous videos and really like the way this project turned out. If you could do this again, would you still remove the original top or just plank over it????

[@AndiesBeauty123]

Okay so this might be an odd video BUT I haven’t seen it done before. I’d love to see a DIY starter kit of some essential items you use for all your diys!

[@ajamjar]

You're so handy :)

[@sylviag5397]

You did a great job! I’m doing the same to my tv console ( same material as yours) but it’s my first time working with chalk paint. Is it normal for the paint to scratch off easily? Or did I not clean it probably? I’m worried I may have ruined it😱

[@leighanndepamphilis7453]

I'm having the same issue with a desk, I think its the finish on the particle board, I had never seen those paint bubbles before but mine did exactly what hers did.....I hope someone can help us...

[@mandihopstein1635]

Hi ! I just found your page and love it ! I am just starting to learn about chalk paint and painting furniture. When useing chalk paint do you not need a top coat or primer ? It looked like u just put straight chalk paint on there with no sanding, primer and top coat ? Hope to hear from you I’m going to start painting a big piece soon thanks ☺️

[@TheDIYCottage]

Hey! With chalk paint I don't use a primer, but you do need to use some sort of top coat to seal it. You can use furniture wax, or some sort of other sealer (my personal favorite is polycrylic). Mosf of the time I don't film sealing it because you can't really see anything because it's clear. It just looks like I'm painting air 😂I hope that helps! 😁

[@mandihopstein1635]

Yes thank you ! ☺️

[@lorenahernandez6221]

I really like this project and I was looking for somethig like this because I have a furniture like that and was wondering how to paint over formic (I think that's the cover material), So, I like it but I dont want ir white. Any ideas other than chalk paint?

[@LisaHancockGuthrie]

Yes, Krueger jig. Or is it gig? I want one, but they are super expensive!

[@cc3mathews]

Lisa Hancock Guthrie it's Kreg Jig and the one she used costs about $10-15. I almost picked one up yesterday.

[@laurabraley1907]

Cute!!!

[@janetlynch1873]

Love your projects. Could u tell me your name. Thx

[@LisaHancockGuthrie]

That is super cute! Why not get Lowe’s to cut your big wood?

[@TheDIYCottage]

I used to have them do it! But for more precise projects like this, I found that (unless you get someone who is really good at using their saw) they never quite got the cuts perfect. So now I just cut them by hand. (Until I get a table saw 😍)

[@AngelBoo1001]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@ashmodo1097]

We are possibly doing this to our entertainment center. Was this one made of veneer?

[@TheDIYCottage]

It was actually the cheaper kind of material. More like an ikea piece than real wood veneer. But it would work on veneer too! :) Hope that helps!

[@ashmodo1097]

The DIY Cottage oh that stuff is laminate. Good to know! I have another piece I’m doing just the same with.

[@jewelclark1039]

I would like a tutorial on how to use the craig jig. I have one that I have never used.

[@trishaa.3398]

What is the name of your saw.? Did you buy the horse?

[@cjmayes0]

Nice video!!! Thanks for not having a garage full of $10,000 industrial wood working tools to do the modifications.

[@doeeyedfaun4020]

Girl I use my feet as tools too. Why ask for help when you have two extra appendages!😂

[@TheDIYCottage]

So true! 😂😂😂

[@Crystal-be9ze]

The locks are called “cam locks”

[@LisaHancockGuthrie]

I think a darker stain would be my choice, but that’s just me

[@AllovertheSpace]

I got so Afraid for you Everytime you ran your hand across the board chipped pieces yikes. But you did s fantastic job very helpful thank you

[@yanaray9495]

I love you and your channel BUT...you NEED some power tools you will love them. I got an air compressor and 2 nailers for under $200. I love it because the nailer rarely splits the wood. If you are not sure of a technique you really should do some research first. I think you waste a lot of time and materials re doing your stuff. NOT that I haven't redone things. I am currently on my 3 round of attempting to stain my table dark and can't get it dark enough. I finally did through research on youtube and google. I love your channel and your projects.

[@TheDIYCottage]

I completely agree about needing power tools! TRUST ME... It's just really expensive to get all of the tools. Frankly I'm desperate for a nailer, but the bills and other things take priority over new power tools. So I'm just gonna make due with what I have for right now. Good luck on your table staining! I have heard that wood conditioner can help the stain take darker, but I'm not sure if you can add if after there is stain on there already. Might be something you could look into :)

[@amandaboczoni243]

Yes!!! I was waiting for a video from you. Lol

[@TheDIYCottage]

Aww yay! You totally made my day! 😊
