Shiplap Blanket / TV Hutch – Total Cost : $ 60
With a across-the-board open living space in the menage , we demand to descend up with a depot solution that fit the interior decoration .
So we turned to shiplap to create our Blanket /TV hutch .
We used basic 2 x 4 ’s to create the systema skeletale , then enclose the piece with rasping - sawn shiplap . We used the liquid side of the shiplap to create the door and a ledge inside the cabinet .
To land up , we sum up hinge , a lively edge piece of cherry for the top , and stained to match the room .
