Modern with a Touch of Boho

The photos don’t even do this TV stand justice. I was debating between wanting it to be farmhouse or modern and then my sister challenged me to take the crossbars off to make it even more modern. I of course accepted the challenge & am so glad I did! It wasn't an easy task, there were two nails holding every end of the cross bars into the frame. I was afraid that I was going to break or scratch the glass, luckily, I didn't. I wanted to freshen up the wood & add a layer of protection without making any major changes. I did that by using Varathane‘s Poly & Stain in the color Pecan & it came out gorgeous!

Fun Facts:
- The little bit of stenciling alongside the sides was a total last-minute decision. I didn't plan on there being white at all but that specific area on both sides of the stand needed some more TLC (color-wise) than just re-staining. I didn't want to risk damaging the paint that was already on so I decided to cover the area with white and it threw everything off, in my eyes. I knew I needed to incorporate the blue/green paint onto it somehow and realized that using a stencil I had to create a half-sun shape along the edge would be perfect. Luckily, it all worked out.
- My mom ended up loving this TV Stand so much that this is now hers. I completely re-did her living room a couple years ago & this is perfect for the room!
