So in October, before we moved to a new place, a friend was giving away stuff during her move and I got this piece! We have a little TV for our basement and no stand for it since our last 2 place's happened to have a pre-built-in spot for it. I had been wanting to try a new project for a while now and this free item was the perfect thing to try it on before I move on to other furniture.
The first thing I did was take a degreaser to the whole thing to remove any dirt and build up.
Then I painted it with my favorite go to paint, BEHR. I used Pale Wheat in Satin. The coolest part was I got to use my sisters paint gun and it made painting it go by a lot faster! I now have decided that I need my own smaller version.
Take an old cotton t-shirt and immediately wipe away. Leave dark in the cracks and giving the whole project a worn antique look.

Before and after:
FINISHED! Except that the glass broke 10min before I went to put it in. So now I guess I have to replace that, most likely I will frost the glass too! Maybe a future pictures is on its way.
