Not made in Sweden
I feel so grown up, I no longer own any furniture from Ikea! The last piece of furniture that I was working on replacing was our media cabinet. While on the hunt for a replacement I had to fall in love with Pottery Barn's Andover Media Cabinet, but at $1200 it was a little unrealistic to me. I began to search Craigslist for a new media cabinet but come to find out, most of those are from Ikea as well, or the dimensions wouldn't fit under our TV. So I started to look for ones that I could refurbish, that was until Trevor decided we were going to build one! I ended up finding on Ana White's website building instructions for the exact same Pottery Barn media cabinet I wanted (project instructions here). SCORE!
I did not take many pictures through the work stages of the project, but here is the completed garage phase of our new media cabinet. Archie decided to photobomb the picture.
Apparently my fur kids want to be seen! And I need to learn not to take pictures at night with my iPhone! I am so excited to no longer own any particle board, falling apart, cheap furniture! So long Ikea!
