My Aldi Hack....

So, I've been doing a bit of fixer-uppering and finally put the tv unit together......

 

I had been looking a small white unit that fitted between the windows for ages and when I saw them at Aldi of all places , I was straight in there....

 

however it sat forlornly in its box for ages waiting until hubby's back to be improved ......however when that wasn't looking very likely I decided to put it together myself...

 

 

the girls helped too but then we had a disaster....

uh oh !!!

the plugs got hammered right thru to front :((((

 

 

I had a few ideas about what to cover the drawers with but then I saw these wooden rulers at Typo on clearance , I knew exactly what I was going to do..... I practically bought out both stores we visited that day :)

 

The colors were pretty off but I spent a lovely day  painting, sanding and glazing them.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 and another afternoon with the saw and hot glue gun ,  saw me finally finish the unit....

I couldn't be happier.... 

 

as Wendy said...its a patchwork of rulers :)

 

I've decided not to put any knobs on but two tabs at the top that will pull the drawers out...we wont be using them very often....

 

I spray painted the Ikea clock too....

 

....it feels good to have another two things ticked off the list...:)

 

and my white house is starting to come alive with pops of color .....
