I have an old console TV - would like to repurpose the cabinet...

Look at Hometalk under the "repurposing from : furniture" http://www.hometalk.com/diy/outdoor/furniture/from-tv-stand-to-outdoor-sideboard-28384106

My nephew got rid of the TV and made the cabinet into a fishtank. The tank he used, fit into the cabinet really well, and it is lovely. Little kids love just sitting in front of it and watching the fish. Actually, it is fun for everyone to watch the fish.

this would sure be interesting to do and so relaxing to watch --- thanks so much for the idea - wonder if there are any tutorials available?

this looks amazing, however i am looking for things i can do with it in the house - thank you for sharing this stunning idea for the outdoors

put some shelves where the television was and use it for a storage cabinet
