Antique Printer's Cabinet Makeover
I found this buffet table on Craigslist the other week that I knew could be a real showstopper as a faux Pottery Barn inspired vintage printer’s cabinet. Except we’re putting it to use as a media cabinet.
All it took was a 1x10, 1x12, and sheet of plywood to transform the style. The first thing I wanted to do was square up the waterfall top of the buffet and beef it up with some rustic looking wood.
It was pretty tedious, but we ended up cutting 24 plywood pieces. Then, we dry fit the plywood pieces on the drawers and doors to make sure they would fit. We laid the buffet on its back at this point so we could work on a flat surface for the front as we attached them.
When the plywood pieces were all placed and set, we used a tape measure and level to mark holes for the cup pulls.
Bam! And now we have even more DVD storage space because we’re sort of movie hoarders.
