The Reveal of My T.V. Stand Make-Over

Buon Giorno fabulous friends! Thanks for bearing with me the next couple days, my blog is "under construction." Today I am finally doing the reveal of our made-over t.v. stand! We desperately needed something to store all our movies and cords for our t.v. and my budget for this item was REALLY small. I wanted something that will look great in our room now, but will also look fantastic in a living area when we move to Germany! Here is what we had before (you can't see it but I have a sad face when I look a this).
ICK! An ugly brown piano bench (which I will transform into nightstands) that exposed all of the cords and was way too small!
I found this unattractive and very dated piece at a thrift shop for $30. It is solid and I could see its potential.
I spray painted it with a fantastic new color by Krylon that is called Pearl Mist and it shimmers beautifully in the light....I love sparkles and shimmer, it makes me giddy!! Here is the end product!

 I adore the intricate woodwork and metal handles.
I then painted he frame white to match the stand.

What pieces do you have that you can update with just a can of spray paint! I would love to see your make-overs! Have a great day!
