This is one end of the entertainment center. It had a big weird 'tape mark' at the top, where someone had taped something, and the finish came off when they removed the tape. Wallpaper border to the rescue! There was also a big 'chip' in the side where a hunk of wall was missing, so that's where we hung the phone. I'll put a wee table near this, with a pencil and post-it notes. :)
We found a 2-pack of these battery operated closet lights for $5, so we put one above the stove and one over the sink. I know. This is getting really fancy!
Remember how I said I had a spare shelf the same width as the stove? Hubby had THE COOLEST idea. I cut it down a bit, covered it in the stainless steel adhesive stuff, and we added a couple hinges, a handle, and we made a microwave!
I make a 'keypad' on Publisher and we just added it over the top with some clear con-tact paper. The 'window' is blue contact...and it's a darker blue than it appears to be in the pics. Cool, though.
This is it! The little baskets on the lower shelves are for food, pots, dishes, etc. We had them already, so no added cost there. We made this happen for a little under $65. I can't wait for Christmas Morning!!!
More photos when we get it set in place, as well as her reaction on Christmas! Thanks for reading along, and I hope this inspires you to try something home-made! :)
