Hello and happy Harry Potter’s birthday! This month really flew by and I can’t believe that August will begin tomorrow. July was full of vacations and family time, but it’s back to the real world, and I’m excited to share a quick and easy little project that can add a lot of personality to any room. I’ve been meaning to share it for about two months now, but when they go by as fast as July did, it’s hard to keep up!
For some time, I’ve been halfheartedly looking for a new piece of furniture to serve as a small ‘media stand’ for the den. I couldn’t find anything I liked in thrift stores, so after a few months, I sort of stopped looking.
Then, one day last month, I was in the last mile of a 14-mile run in an historic neighborhood downtown, when up ahead of me I saw what appeared to be a piece of furniture on the side of the road. As I got closer, I saw that it wasn’t just my glucose-depleted state causing my imagination to run wild or a trick of the light; it was, in fact, an upside-down, three-legged nightstand that had seen better days. It was the perfect size and had the exact design I envisioned for my little media stand – a large opening for the cable box and DVD player and a drawer for small items (matches for the fireplace, extra extension cords, etc.) to be stored.
