Making a Thrifted Entertainment Center into a Coffee Bar

[@merrycleek813]

Ppl get rid of these entertainment centers all the time and this is an awesome repurpose job! 😍

[@judywilliamson2068]

I had a solid oak entertainment center. I put pegboard in the back, hung all my scissors, cutting utensils, and patterns. Then I bought a piece of oak faced plywood cut it and stained it to match.Used a piano hinge and drop leg to make a wonderful drop sewing table. My sewing machine fits snugly inside, the table lifts up, I can close the doors and hide all my clutter and I still have my nice looking piece of furniture. This was 10 years ago and it’s still such a beautiful piece of furniture but lately I have been giving it the evil eye thinking that I might just want to chalk paint it! LOL

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. love that. And also love the giving it the eye thing😉

[@PeaceandHope1980]

Hi Chris and Yvonne great idea recreating the entertainment center into a coffee bar thanks for sharing.Prayers Blessings to you Chris and both of your families Hugs Mildred!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. thank you Mildred

[@rhondalong5801]

I never would have thought that this was once an entertainment center. It is beautiful! 🤩

[@ReenTheBean]

I am SO glad you didn't leave the bead board black! I renovated a 70's high boy dresser into a tv/entertainment center. I used bead board for the back after removing the top three drawers. It was placed on an angle in my familyroom and as nice as it turned out it always looked like there was a black hole in that corner of the room. I have since removed that top part of the piece and it looks so much nicer in that corner now! I love the light you added to your coffee bar! Nice touch!!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you for sharing that

[@joyshaner3642]

Wow! I am in awe. What a beautiful piece. So beautiful that I forgot about that pretty black metal scrolly piece that was removed at the beginning of this flip. 5 stars!

[@donnawilkes8954]

Wow. I would never have thought there was a second life for the entertainment cabinet. What a transformation.

[@droberts7859]

Wonderful! I have an old inherited Asian carved bar that I would love to make into a coffee bar! You are always inspiring, in craft and in your lovely Christian spirit!

[@kedeglow2743]

Thank you for respecting your husband enough to ask him,...instead of just blithely assuming he'd do it if you bought it and brought it home! Another beautiful job!

[@ganstagranny312]

Love the refurbish of the entertainment center! I would not take on this because I don't have the knowledge or tools!

[@simonepyle3931]

You two are so amazing. What I would do to have the love of my life back. He liked doing stuff like this also.

[@pattyashcraft4518]

Wonderful flip! Great way to use those large TV cabinets. Terrific job, as usual.

[@lyndawise678]

Your work is top drawer. Any furniture store would be proud to display your work.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. thank you for your very kind compliment

[@bethwishitwereviolet5938]

What a beautiful transformation! Chris is so talented. You are too sweet friend! So thankful for you both. 💕

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. thank you Beth

[@jaynebrown693]

I love this piece !!! How fabulous to turn that Entertainment Center/Cabinet into a COFFEE STATION ! Love the light in it. What a grand idea to remove the ironwork and use the space. LOVE LOVE LOVE ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️ Excellent work Chris !!! Great vision Yvonne ! 💛💛☀️☀️💛💛

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. thank you Jayne. Hope you have a wonderful week 💝

[@cmadigi]

oh man do i LOVE this! it's stunning. that light?! i don't know what it is, but it's PERFECTION on this unit.

[@mrststreasures9628]

WOW!! What a vision you have for this kind of thing!! You need to rent Chris out hahaha or have him do lessons to the other hubsters out there hahahaha AND wiring it for electric!! Genius!! Hope you let us know how it does in the booth!!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Lol.. thank you Melissa. It actually went into today. We’ll see how it goes 🤗

[@conniecline201]

This is amazing what a good job. The Edison bulb was a great idea. Good job Chris

[@eunicenield9631]

I love that you guys distress the furniture lightly and not take big chunks of paint out of the wood. It came out beautiful.

[@danicauzelac4688]

Omg, omg is so nice 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@kimcollins9462]

I absolutely love it! I never would have thought of that, but Chris and you both did a wonderful job. I would say that will sell pretty quick.

[@SuzesCarnivoreLifeAfterBypass]

Oh wow I love it!!! Love the light you chose! Awesome coffee bar and bonus extra storage. Who doesn't need that!?! 💖💜💖

[@GingerChickRehab]

Right 🤗

[@suzanneknollinger5533]

One of my favorite pieces of furniture you guys have ever done

[@treasuresimeone4312]

beautiful job! I love repurposing furniture! I am going to use the black edge trick on my next flip!

[@suescott4418]

Gorgeous and love the light fixture just beautiful

[@briannaoduinn8902]

As always, my friend, you guys rock! What a beautiful transformation! I really liked the metal piece at the top and hated to see it go, but it really did open up the space and I know I'll see it later in another flip! lol Thanks so much for sharing your time and your talent!

[@adorablerepurposals6745]

It is gorgeous! The cups were the perfect touch. You’re blessed to have each other.

[@simonebentvelzen6900]

I love it! I'm searching for something in my kitchen that i just can't find and now i know what to look for. Thanks yvonne!!

[@velmacoffey3763]

Now i know what to do to my OLD TV armoire!!! Thank you!!!

[@lucylu2274]

Yvonne, I took you at your word and tried your favorite black Walmart paint today. My husband built a large farmhouse shelving unit for me and I used that paint on it. It did an awesome job!! The coverage on that raw wood was so surprising. I am putting on a second cost but honestly it really doesn't need two coats. Thanks so much for the recommendation! ❤

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. thank you for sharing that with me

[@tammywoods9952]

Beautiful transformation. I have a armoire in my barn that I want to make into a coffee bar. I love the light fixture. Thanks for the inspiration ❤️❤️❤️

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you for sharing that

[@tarantula1655]

I just starting watching you a short time ago but I find myself drawn to the black and white and that is how I am currently doing my projects.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. thank you for watching and sharing that 🖤🤍

[@angelgirl8544]

OMG. I love this cabinet. I really wish I owned it!! GOOOOOOOOOD JOB CHRIS.

[@kk-bootsie]

It turned out so beautiful! Well done! I feel surprised that you did not line the drawers with your black & white floral. The light fixture with the Edison bulb & the new pulls really added to this gorgeous paint job! You two ROCK!!! An inspiration! Thank you!

[@GingerChickRehab]

The drawers were perfect, like they never have been used. So I actually left them beautifully clean 💖

[@robincivis9501]

One of my favorite all time furniture flips!!!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. thank you

[@barbarabell3366]

Beautiful cabinet 😊👍. The pallet wood background is perfect.💗💗

[@sarahrenfrow9795]

Another beautiful example of Yvonne’s vision and Chris’ expertise! How gorgeous!

[@ronmauer7005]

Great job! I love how you two see past the outdated look and truly give a piece of furniture a new life. Blessings from Wisconsin

[@lolitabonita08]

[@joannesferrati3076]

Ta Da! Your designs improve with each attempt. Bravo!

[@maryanneprice9139]

This turned out AMAZING!! Thank you and Chris for showing us the way to make it so GORGEOUS!!!♥️😊👍👍

[@jeanisamoore2313]

As always, Chris did a wonderful job transforming that entertainment venter into a coffee bar! You have a great eye for seeing the potential too!

[@lauraschreuders2799]

Chris, what creative vision you had for that entertainment center! You are such a fine craftsman.

[@sweetqpeadoll1]

I love watching you redo the items you do. God has giving you a great talent.

[@lauraleebaird9729]

Now, I need to put my husband to work with something like this. I LOVE it!!!

[@carmenmontmarquet706]

Chris did a fabulous job!! Loved how it turned out!!!

[@GrandmaBudgets]

What a blessing Chris is for you. It’s so awesome that he is so talented and willing to do all this with you. I love how this coffee bar turned out. Beautiful! Yvonne, you are awesome! I watch every one of your videos. So does my sister. I love your channel.

[@sheryllawson4868]

I love it and who ever gets it is so lucky to get it :)

[@lettycardenas4091]

best entrainment cabinet to coffee bar Ive seen!!!

[@cer145]

I love this flip! Very well done. So well thought out with the light and adding the outlet/switch!!!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

[@marymoyer1773]

Omg..so beautiful..I love it. It is so fun to see your visions come to life..thank you for sharing. You both take care

[@timhalcomb4041]

Thanks for sharing have a blessed day in the name of Jesus

[@janbeme2]

What a beautiful flip on an entertainment center. Looks great, love the light fixture you choose. WTG Chris!!

[@tracymcreations]

I love it. I don't have room for a coffee bar, but I really want to make one

[@jodyhehn6856]

Another fantastic transformation. I did not see the coffee station potential on my own but now that it's done, of course it needed to be a coffee bar!

[@tinatownley]

Oh that Chris.....he is amazing. Great job!

[@elizabethbooth8794]

Hello our ginger genius’s. At least you’re gonna have the best part of this cabinet flip- the flowered grill. You’ll be thinking 🤔 of this when you go to bed tonight. Blessings to all Ginger Snaps 🐈🐈🐈🐈😘 Elizabeth

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. thank you Elizabeth 😻

[@peggyhart1657]

No surprise it came out so beautiful you two do really great work.

[@cathybailey6863]

Great job. You are blessed to have a craftsman of a husband.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh, yes it is

[@joannevangulick8813]

That coffee bar is amazing...you are a great team :)

[@MessedUpPancake]

Wow! What a great team, such creativity! I love, love, love it!!!

[@bethdixon3896]

Love this new coffee bar 💗💐💕

[@cottagecreations2656]

Beautiful! Love that light fixture! Chris is a very talented man; the two of you make a great team. I wonder if old wardrobes would make good coffee bars too. I’ll bet you and Chris could do it! Oh and that scrolly, wrought iron looking piece that was at the top could make a nice wall decor piece.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh I think a wardrobe would work too. I’m always checking them all out for that height for a coffee pot. Yes, this piece gave us some extras💝

[@cottagecreations2656]

@@GingerChickRehab you know, looking at the entertainment center again - it looks very similar to a wardrobe when the doors are closed. I wonder if someone converted a wardrobe to an entertainment center and now you've converted it to a coffee bar?

[@CraftyAccents]

In one word.......GORGEOUS!

[@bettymcgillis6043]

I found a piece of an entertainment centre, rounded on top 2 glass doors..I see the end product..but man does it need alot of work. Thanks for inspiration...I just need a little help from Marc..But I cannot wait to see it completed. You guys did an amazing furniture flip, and the light...I'm so impressed!!!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. have fun. Thank you for sharing

[@marilyntyger5253]

Chris, you did an amazing job. Adding the electric was perfect. Loved the fixtures.

[@Thatsinteresting363]

What a fantastic upcycling of that piece into a very modern farmhouse coffee bar! Love love love ❤️

[@mmlitcher]

That came out beautiful! I would have never thought to make a coffee bar out of a piece like that, brilliant! And Chris is just amazing at taking things apart and putting them back together into something brand new, can do the electrical work etc, reminds me of my dad who used to do this all time and could do a little of everything. Absolutely top notch ❣️

[@teresacabrera8694]

While scouring Goodwill I always see entertainment cabinets, and wondered who would buy them. Now I know what can be done. You and Chris are so good at transforming pieces like this. Thank you for your inspo.👍

[@lisastegall944]

Its absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Great job.🌻🌻🌻

[@lindafrench4670]

Turned out beautifully! What a transformation!! Y'all's vision was right on.

[@cheryltilma3979]

Very nice work! I think I might have left the iron work painted white and put the light behind it! Just a thought🤔

[@PAULAHERRELL]

Beautiful

[@claudineclaudinehamon2300]

Well done to Chris 😉😉😀😀👍👌

It's a very creative and beautiful piece. I would be worried about someone spilling coffee into that plug.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Maybe

[@melonmahfood2439]

I've wanted to make one of these for a long time, thank you for the inspiration to get going!

[@clevinger71]
