I picked up this ugly little stand at an auction years ago for $20. With a little paint, some hardware and casters it is now where we keep our tv and all my craft items.
1. I added wallpaper bead board to the doors with spray adhesive and some trim to keep the wallpaper in place.
2. Painted using leftover paint from our kitchen cabinets.
3. Hubby added casters to the underside, and handles to the doors.
4. Drilled holes for the tv cords.
I hide my 3 sewing machines behind the curtains.
Now on to my secret
On the back side I used spice wracks to hold all my crafty things like thread, needles, glue gun, iron, and cutting boards.
The unit is always against a wall so no one ever sees the back side, and with it being on casters it just rolls out for easy access.
It’s a great way to get extra space!

You did a great transformation on that TV stand. Putting casters on the bottom was a wonderful idea. Really nice! I love how you have tucked away your craft items. That’s brilliant!

This is great…I am just blown away by the racks in the back…what a brilliant idea! I popped over from Debbie’s and am your newest follower. Your blog looks very fun and I’m going to look around a bit! Come visit me if you have time…~Ann
Look at you..getting all organized here. I need to be doing this, like NOW. Thanks Dawn for joining my newbie party. Have fun!
This turned out terrific! Love the bead board wallpaper- I’ve been reading about it and how people are loving it. So cute the way you added the handles-
Clever girl – hiding things around the back. I wondered how you got all your craft things inside the cabinet, but now I know you don’t. The beadboard and white paint make a huge difference in the look of the cabinet.
I am looking to find one of these for a good deal. Love your secret hiding place! Thanks for sharing!
That’s a great transformation and a great use of space.
Your cabinet is so clever. It’s not too big to move around too. I love that you thought of putting the stuff behind it. Thanks for sharing!
Three sewing machines? Wow, you must be a super busy stitcher…I’d like to see how you store your fabrics!
That is an incredible makeover! I love what you did with your old entertainment center . . . amazing!

The paint transformed this piece and you created a lot of storage with it.
Visiting from Debbiedoo’s. Nice transformation! Beautiful piece and dual function. Great job!
