6. Modern TV Console Made from an Old Dresser

Old dressers are incredibly versatile and can be converted into stylish TV consoles. Remove the top row of drawers to create open shelving for media devices, then sand and repaint the entire piece in a modern tone like charcoal gray, ivory, or sage green.

Add sleek new hardware to elevate the look, and consider replacing the legs with tapered wooden ones to give the console a mid century inspired style. This makeover not only saves money but also creates a unique, custom piece that fits perfectly in your living room. The combination of closed storage and open shelving is practical and visually appealing.
