DIY TV Built-ins From Facebook Marketplace Cabinets
Once the cabinets were painted and attached together I started with the shelving. I purchased 2x10s and created box all around the top.
I wanted it to feel like one unit. I attached the boards together by creating pocket holes using my Kreg Jig and screwed them together for a really strong joint.
I then added shelves at the height and width I wanted and painted the whole thing Simply White by Benjamin Moore. Once everything was painted I decided to elevate the design a little more so I added 1×3 Primed MDF trim boards all around the shelving.
This added such a beautiful finish!
I am obsessed the way it came out! It’s everything I wanted! And because I purchased the cabinets off of Facebook Marketplace the whole thing cost just under $200! That’s insane!
