Mix and Match
Three pieces become more that the sum of their parts
As the needs of today’s growing families change, it’s important to find furniture solutions that don’t break the bank. And by thinking creatively, decorating ideas can be easily tailored to solve space, storage and other issues facing many homeowners.
This entertainment center is actually three separate pieces – two book cases and a console table– that were purchase at an unfinished furniture store. To create a look befitting this family room and to speed the finishing, the three maple pieces were stained and topcoated in one step with Minwax® Polyshades® Walnut in a satin sheen. Arranged along a wall of the family room, the new ensemble looks just like one of those expensive ready-mades, but only the owners know better.
