DIY Friday: The Multi-Purpose Credenza

Everyone could use extra storage in the their home or office and we are never short on storage credenzas in our Used Furniture Showroom. A little love and a fresh coat of paint can make a big impact. The great thing about credenzas is that they can be used in just about any room of the house! Here are some examples…

Dining room buffet: Use a credenza to hold plates, trays, food accessories and more. It is also a great place to set serving dishes instead of overcrowding the table.
TV console: Whether your tv is mounted or you need something to set it on, a credenza would make a perfect console by giving the room a focal point as well as plenty of dvd/game storage.
Craft or game room storage: Hide all of your balls of yarn, scrapbooking accessories, paint supplies or kids’ toys and games in the multiple drawers and cabinet space.
Entryway or foyer: A credenza would be a great place to display pictures and keep your keys. It would also add style and make a good first impression on your guests.
Bedroom console or vanity: Store you clothes, accessories, makeup and more!
A bar! For those of you who like to imbibe, it could display bottles, glasses, an ice bucket and all the ingredients to your favorite drink.
Home Office: Don’t forget what it was originally intended for! It is still a great place to keep important documents, office supplies, and your printer.

Think of all the possibilities! A credenza would make a perfect DIY project for any space. Visit our Pinterest page for some great tips on painting and refinishing furniture.
