Here's an affordable modern credenza
Tyler puts together a credenza from the Traby line, only to have it blend too well with the floor. Eight coats of high gloss paint later, we have a winner.

LOVE THIS.
ReplyDeleteGreat hack. It looks like a million bucks. There is a lot you can do with this collection.
And now it blends in too well with the wall. But seriously, looks great.
ReplyDeleteditto charles.
ReplyDeleteso, the hack is that he painted it? sheesh...
If you really want to get closer to the Danish modern look, a dark stain might be more fitting.
ReplyDeleteLooks cool :).
ReplyDeleteit does blend too well with the wall, i'd paint the interior orange!
ReplyDeleteTyler Here,
ReplyDeleteCharles, ya you are right I did not make a dog house out of it, but there was some thought as how to bolt them together. So I guess it was more of an assemblage, if that is a word.
I did try to stain it before I painted it, but the stain would not take to the "real" wood veneer.
Actually I was going to paint the to inside boxes orange but I thought I would loose the wood grain look.
So maybe he only painted it, but some people may not have thought of that, so it's still nice to show the options. And the legs look great.
ReplyDeleteI love my trabies just as they are but maybe one day I will want to paint them.
Nice blend of wood and paint I like it
ReplyDeleteso that's what a credenza is! I want one,... bookshelf/coffee table/storage....
ReplyDeleteI use to have one for all my old records, but it went to the charity shop, you could of had it.
