Abbey from Interiors by Abbey turned an old dresser into the most gorgeous DIY TV stand—and it’s truly impressive.
She used a secondhand piece with good bones and gave it new life with paint, fresh hardware, and creative styling.
The key to this transformation was removing the top drawers and customizing the open space for electronics.
She also added a beadboard backing to elevate the whole look and give it that built-in feel.
The matte black finish she chose adds a super sleek and modern vibe that works with almost any room decor.
And can we talk about the hardware?
She swapped out the knobs for antique brass pulls that totally class it up.
Abbey did all of this on a budget, showing how far a little vision (and elbow grease!) can go.
She walks through every step, from sanding and priming to painting and sealing, so it’s beginner-friendly but still polished.
One helpful tip:
Abbey recommends checking Facebook Marketplace or local thrift stores for dressers with solid wood construction.
