i cut the front panel out and turned it into a door. removed the peeling veneer from the top, took out the old radio and cleaned up the inside.

Wow, now THAT is amazing and inspirational. Great work!
what are your tips for removing old veneer? i've tried a heat gun with not much success? what do you do?
oh ps! LOVE This! so creative
your work is amazing! the next time I come to noho to visit friends I hope to stop by :)
It is rather interesting for me to read the blog. Thanks for it. I like such topics and everything that is connected to them. I definitely want to read more on that blog soon.
very....VERY nice...love the color!smiles.
Awesome piece and fantastic colors!
thanks guys! it is an awesome piece and justin chose a great fabric and color.
sara- if a veneer is coming off on it's own i use a putty knife, a hammer and some gentle elbow grease. sometime i have to do quite a bit of sanding where the glue hasn't released. i've never had any luck removing a veneer that wasn't already separating.
i think this is one of the best ones i have seen liz!!!! such a great idea...it's perfect!
Cool blog you got here. It would be great to read a bit more concerning this theme.
By the way look at the design I've made myself Overnight escorts
I love thisssss. It's amazing all around and I have a soft spot for turquoise. I'd repaint everything turquoise if I could.
