TV progress
As per a previous post, I had big plans to steampunk my broken television.
To fit with the rest of my living room’s look (or at least what I would like the living room to look like) I decided to go for something a little less Wild Wild West, a little more Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
I started with a broken tv and a cheap ikea-esque tv stand I got from some friends when they moved last summer.
fabulously free
hot
We wanted to fit in a bunch of electronic stuff along with the television. It was a tight squeeze but by taking everything out of the cases, we were able to get it in.

fabulously freeAt first I didn’t have much luck while looking to buy some cool table legs but then I found a great little end table on kijiji to give it some midcentury flair.

Chris and I attached the two pieces together and then spray painted the whole thing a sexy high-gloss black.
