FREE Credenza Gets a New Life!

2 Materials
About two weeks ago my husband was moving offices at work and texted me a picture of a random piece of furniture and asked if I wanted it. O to the M to the G, heck YES I want it!!
I was so psyched to get a FREE mid-century modern Credenza and knew immediately I’d be adding hairpin legs to this piece for two reasons. 1. To give it some height so I could use it in my dining room. 2. to give it a little more visual interest.
This is what it looked like BEFORE. Kinda sad huh?
These are the gorgeous hairpin legs I added. They are so easy, you just screw in about 4 screws each. Huge, dramatic effect!!
After the legs, this Credenza got a white coat of paint on the drawers then I DIY'd the leather drawer pulls.

    OOO! I love it! Looks kinda retro with a modern feel. The hair pin legs are a plus. Great choice. Love the handles. Great job!

      @William Thank you, those hairpin legs just bring it to a whole new level. Definitely a Mid-Century Modern feel to it :-)

      Thanks Hannah! The art was super cheap and easy to make. Under $20 for the frame and all thanks to sales, coupons and engineer prints.
