What a Looker!!

So, I have been on the look out for a nice, inexpensive, sturdy t.v. stand to replace the decrepit over-sized t.v. stand we have been using. Once again Knock Off Wood to the rescue! I absolutely LOVE this site!
The picture above from Pottery Barn is what I had in mind. I like this set up, first of all, because it is just BEAUTIFUL, also because it is modular, so I can add on to the look as I have the space/ need for it (this would be a perfect way to store family board games, children's toys, extra family room items, etc.), and I fell in love with the rustic hardware. I tried very hard to imitate the hardware as closely as I could....

And here is my end result! I will add on as I can, but I started first with the closed-door style. We really needed to keep the curious, do-it-by-myself fingers of our two-year-old away from our expensive electronic items. And I really loved the big rustic lock originally used to close the doors. I like what I was able to come up with for the lock, but I remain on the hunt for one that more closely resembles the original Pottery Barn picture.

Just look at all that storage!! Perfect!

Fast, easy, economical (way less to make it on my own than to buy it from even Wal-Mart, let alone Pottery Barn!).

I am very pleased with the results. I have loved the savings and personalizing of building my own furniture so much that I told my husband that all I want for Mother's day is a nail gun or a chop saw.... ;)
