A Repurposed TV Armoire

What to do with a no longer needed TV armoire/cabinet?

We had a very nice Henredon TV armoire 

that was part of our wall unit so I didn't

want to get rid of it.

We said goodbye to our last tube TV. 

That now left a big empty space.

 Empty spaces don't stay empty very long in 

my house.  I managed to fill it with 

a collection of stuff in no time.

Not a very good use of space.

 I thought adding shelves would make this a 

 great storage cabinet for some of my 

seasonal glasses and mugs. I also found the 

back panel for the TV cut-out in the garage 

when we were searching

 for wood for the side and shelves. 

 We used 3/4" MDF for the project, 

because that's what we had in the garage.

Nothing is nailed into the cabinet. The shelves

just rest on slats that hold the sides in place. 

We can remove it anytime. We used the

 trimmed-off pieces of the MDF shelves for 

the slats. Nothing ever wasted here!

Loaded it up and still have room to spare!

The space is 40"W and 24" D. The four

shelves (counting the bottom) give about

26-2/3 square feet of shelf space or the

equivalent of 26-2/3 feet of regular kitchen 

cabinet shelves. In other words...Lots!

All behind closed doors. 

I love projects like this:

*no cost

*very little time

*very little skill

*use up stuff in the garage

*lots of organization and storage!

Cheers!
