This red console stands out in front of dark paneled walls.

A coat of glossy paint or lacquer paired with the right hardware can update the most tired of pieces. This buffet when from garage sale reject to total showstopper with a few simple moves.

This console was a $35 flea market find!

Make a bold statement on your dresser or buffet by spray-painting large animal statues a solid color that pops against the wall.

Truth be told, most of the units I'm finding on Craigslist or at thrift stores are of the gaudier laminate variety. I never would have thought to paint one cherry red and add white hardware to achieve a Regency Glamour look. Now that I am seeing this clever redo paired with the black paint and white greyhound statuettes, I can see new potential in previously rejected styles of vintage stereo cabinets.

Bright, bold, vintage, modern — this dresser has it all. With its daring red color, this dresser calls out for attention. Tip: Red has many shades — be sure to pick a red that feels in tune with the style of your space. A rich red like this dresser feels more global in style (especially paired with black), while a chalky red can read cottage style.

Plan 2: A new TV cabinet, armoire or credenza with integrated storage. New media cabinets can be pricey; keep your eyes open at flea markets and garage sales for suitable pieces. You can breathe new life into vintage stereo cabinets and retro buffets with glossy paint and new hardware. These kinds of cabinets make great TV stands and have tons of potential for storing all of your media.

This piece is great! I too will also look at old and gaudy in a new way! I really need a media cabinet and haven't been able to find just the right one. Craig's list here I come!
