FROM HOUSE TO HOME

It’s not often that I get to solve 4 decorating problems with one project, but this is one of those projects.

Now that I no longer have any big box TV’s, I don’t really need a TV armoire. But I still like the design of it and hate to get rid of it.

How To Convert A Tv Armoire To A Desk

SPRAY PAINT THE INSIDE Since I will have to look at the inside of the armoire more often now, I needed to make it a little more attractive.

ADD A SLIDE-OUT SHELF FOR MY LAPTOP First, I wanted a slide-out laptop shelf.  The shelf in the armoire is a little less than 30″ off the ground which is the perfect height for a computer keyboard.

ADD A SHELF OVER THE LAPTOP AREA Next I added a shelf over the pull out laptop shelf.  This is where the printer, cord storage and paper inbox will go.

ADD LIGHTS First I added some LED lights* to the top of the armoire.

ADD BULLETIN BOARD AND PRINTER Then I updated the bulletin board / letter holder with a coat of black lacquer spray paint and some leopard print fabric stapled to the bulletin board.

ADD CORD ORGANIZER AND PAPER INBOX ORGANIZER The bottom shelves act as a charging station.  The slots at the top are perfect for envelopes, papers and notebooks.

ADD PEGBOARD STORAGE ON THE DOORS The last step was to add storage for all of the office supplies that I can never find when I need them…pens, pencils, erasers, staplers, scissors, etc.
