TV Shelf

Ok so it has been forever since I have posted, I have so many finished projects to add to my little blog, just never enough time to actually do it. I am super excited about this post, as it is Chris and I's first project together. We are Netflix junkies. easy convienent, and cheap. Well we have netlix on our Wii downstairs, on our bluray in the family room, and on his Playstation 3 in the family room. Well we decided we wanted it in our bedroom as well. Only problem is that the playstation is oddly shaped and nothing can be placed on top of it and there is no room anywhere else in the room for it. Also we really wanted our TV to be a little higher, so we had some Wood or particle left from some shelves we had done in our bathroom linen closet.

So we decided to measure and come up with a plan. A very simple plan but we're beginners. We measured twice, and drew our saw lines. We both sawed our three pieces we needed. Then we put them together. I primed it and chris spray painted it. All in a days work. It only took a couple hours and it is perfect for our little space. It was basically free since we had all the stuff already left over from other projects.

After we sawed here is Chris drilling holes for the screws

All screwed together, I started t prime and then remembered to take a picture

Top of our dresser after. TV is the perfect hieght now. Although I still need to fix all the cords so you can't see them. nothing bugs me more... I am the electrical tape queen.

A closer shot.

All together its nothing fancy, very simple, but also very functional for us.
