More furniture re-do's

Over the weekend I scored an absolute bargain with this solid timber entertainment unit.  $50!!!  I was inspired by some of the amazing furniture re-purposes over at Better After , so I decided to refit this out as a new wardrobe for our youngest girl, Stephie. 
Right now it's halfway through being painted, so I won't share pics until I'm almost done... or I might make you wait till it's all finished :) 

On a side note - I had to make Stephie a new apron, and she loved it so much she wore it, and wore it and wore it all day.  Even when we went out to pick up the entertainment unit - she wore exactly what she's wearing in that picture.  Little trendsetter! hehe - and then this morning, when I went to put the apron in the wash, she cried so hard that I caved and made her a second little one, which she wore all day today! I think I might have just hit on a winner with those aprons! 
Tutorial for that coming soon!
Till tomorrow...
