What can I use a wall unit for besides a TV???

Question

We had this huge cherry-brown colored wall unit that my fiance refused to get rid of, despite it matching nothing in our house! I decide it to try and give it more of a rustic/vintage look by painting it. I don't have any before pictures, but here it is... Any suggestions as to what I can do with it now?  We have a family room for our TV (and another project I'm working on for the stand).

I took a Mexican rustic armoire and converted it into my kitchen pantry after placing some wood shelves. Would it fit in your bedroom as an armoire? The children's room? It looks very nice.

It's kind of a difficult question to answer without knowing the size of your house, how many rooms you have, etc.  I DO know one thing .... and that is, hold on to it as it can be used for many things.  As one reader said, if your kitchen is large, it would make a fabulous pantry but also great for holding kids' toys, etc. (for the future!) assuming you want children.   I wish I had the room for it!  :)

Add some coat hooks and place this piece near your entryway as a place to stow mittens, put on boots, etc.

Depends on where you want to use it...you could mirror the back, or just lean a big mirror in that space, add a couple shelves to display more stuff, or even make it a focal point for a nice piece of art. Maybe after you get married, you could use it as a very nice display area for photos and mementos!

ok, how about a library or a craft station?

You could mount  glass or wooden shelves all the way across the front and have shelving for books or nic nacs.

Charlotte Wood Eckel · Answer

Does the back come off? If so, maybe you can use it in a bedroom for extra storage.

Arlene Fitzpatrick · Answer

I like what you did already but think if you added two mirrors where the large flat surfaces are - that would look good.

Susan A. · Answer

I am most likely going to add some shelves and use it to display some books and family photos.

Kathy Haines Cramer · Answer

If the back comes off, you could fashion a head board with it. And if the base is the right height, you could use that at the foot of the bed for a bench. I'd tale out the glass first. :)

Kristle Womack Wheeler · Answer

or you could turn it into a wet bar...

Leslie · Answer

Use the back for a headboard, the bottom would work for a coffee table, or if you have a spate bedroom, use the bottom  at the end of a bed.
