My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Re-Using and old TV cabinet

13 years ago
I had an old TV cabinet that went out with the introduction of flat screens. I decided I could revamp it for my dining room..... It took about 8 hrs. and $60.

    Karen, You could find one with panels like this and replace the upper panels with glass and use baskets below for linens.... These are probably more available than glass door cabinets. Glass would be pretty.

      Very nice! Lately, I considered what to do with an TV armoire when the current TV dies. Thanks for the idea.

      wow, now that's just great.

      looks good. i've got a tv armoire i need to paint and add shelves and actually use for clothing! they also make great craft or sewing centers and hideway offices for cramped spaces.

      Great idea! I have one I'm about to insert into an old, unused doorway in my front entrance and use it as a closet there.
