Dresser Turned Media Console Fireplace
So I paid $20 for this dresser and mirror. It was in decent shape so I figured I would sand and throw some chalk paint on it and resell for a good profit.
Painted with antique white chalk paint and stained the top.
The more I looked at the more the wheels in my mind kept on turning. I had been looking at the media fireplaces and wanted one but they were so expensive.
I cut out the middle drawers and put in a electric fireplace insert($119). I sold the mirror half of the piece for $20. I absolutely love it and it works beautifully.

Have a question about this project?
I made one sort of similar. It's not finished yet. I would like to know if the fireplace in it draws a lot of power?
Hello. I know this is late but how did you cut into the dresser? What did you use? How did you keep the upper side drawers in place after you cut into it?
Thank you
Did you have to sand the entire piece before painting, to get the finish off?
No. I used chalk paint. I used TSP to clean it really well.
