I spotted this armoire at the thrift store a few months ago and decided to get it and re-do the inside of it to hold all my extra glasses, dishes and linens. So the first thing we did was…
Rip out the shelf that use to hold a T.V.
We had to use a crowbar to get the dang thing out!
then we removed all the electrical plugs that were there for DVD players and such.
Where the large hole was in the back of the Armoire (For large T.V’s.) I had some toile black and white fabric left over from some other project and used a staple gun to attach it all around to cover the hole and make a pretty background.
I think it turned out great!
I then had my cute hubby put in one shelf.
But then I decided that two shelves would be better… so he installed a second shelf.
It holds all my extra glasses, holiday dishes, odds and ends perfectly.
All the drawers and cupboards below hold my napkins, placemats, chargers and tablecloths.
With just a little bit of work I now have great storage for all my goodies.

Karins KottageWelcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with!
You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too!
I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

You are so clever. I can' believe how many entertrainment type things I've passed up because I didn't know what to do with them to make them useful. Great, great idea.
I see I am not the only one that converted a tv armoire into a dish cupboard! They hold so much more than the kitchen cabinets. Thanks for the idea of using it for my stemware...now to find one at a reasonable price!
Have a great weekend.
The best thing you did was to marry that handy man! I like your storage idea. Please come see mine.
Awesome dish storage! Works really well for this purpose! :-)
Ooh...I definitely need to get one of those. Great job into transforming it from the TV space to a great china/linen cabinet!
Hugs, Lana
