I picked this up off of Craigslist for free. The drawers (the missing ones) were not working (see the parts sitting in front of it?) and a piece of the molding was missing off the front. At first I thought of making it a bench. It is six feet long, 18" wide and 24" tall. I envisioned it with a nice long cushion on top in a cool fabric, open storage and hidden storage. I thought about painting it some fun vivid colors too. One night this past week I was looking through a Costco furniture ad and saw media consoles. A bell rang in my head. This piece was meant to be a media console.
I fixed up the drawers a bit, sprayed the hardware pewter, primed it and then painted it with Sherwin Williams Kennsington White (I think that is the name) and accented it with March Winds. I attached a piece of molding to the front and fortified the open storage area with boards. I really like how it turned out.
Wow, that looks great! My parents just updated to the world of flat screens because their old box TV died. It's funny, our flat screen is just a few years old, but theirs is so much more advanced! Guess that's just technology for you. :)

Great job :) we are tech geeks and I just did our own media console. I also have a short dresser like that we're using as a window seat.
