					<description><![CDATA[So this could be a little overly ambitious, but for Jennifer&#039;s entertainment center, I would honestly add a back AND doors. I don&#039;t think it would be that difficult. I love this image as inspiration  https://www.westelm.com/products/patchwork-dresser-g788/?cm_src=rel. You can stain each door a different color like the picture, or all the same - the exposed wood would look really great with your new mantle, and I think your man would appreciate the natural warmth of it :) Good luck!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thank you for your ideas on my entertainment center, Mandi! I&#039;m hoping that hubby will budge on painting it, fingers crossed! Now if I can just get my mom to watch my four heathens, I can get started. You rock! And thank you to your readers for all the great suggestions!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This has nothing to do with this post, but I&#039;ve come on here looking for ideas on how to decorate my ugly extra large planter shelf..I&#039;m thinking you need to dedicate a post to decorating those ugly things without it looking too busy or cluttery! I have a huge wall that needs things hung on it, but when I hang anything on it and add something to the planter shelf it looks lame. My shelf is about a foot deep but then like 4 or more feet tall. its awkward! =)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Suggestion: #1. I would change the harp that holds the shade to a shorter harp and add a rectangle smaller shade. To that shade I would add some trim or upholstery gimp in gold. Since they seem to be focal points more than light sources, a black shade or deep brown could be a nice focal point additon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suggestion #2.  The cane back chairs. I would go BOLD. Paint the cane black and the frame white  (or white cane -black frame) sanding it a bit for some shabby chic. On the prominent design embellishments rub some gold over the high spots, or silver burnish on the frame details and outside edges to highlight it a bit and bring a touch of glam. Here is the product just in case you don&#039;t know what I mean. ( https://www.amazon.com/GOLD-LEAF-RUB-N-BUFF/dp/B0002IXUNY ).   Put some strong black and white upholstery in a modern floral or geometric design with perhaps a pop of color such as a leaf that is lime green or....?  If you decide to add a color pop in the basic black and white pattern such as the green leaf, paint the bottom of the legs 2 inches up from the bottom the same color as if the legs had been dipped in the accent color. Here is a pattern that might work well as an example at TheDesignFile blog (saw this there, no promotion or affiliation- just credit) https://www.thedesignfile.net/thedesignfile/2011/09/my-quick-upholstery-job-on-four-dining-chairs.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#3 Entertainment center. I agree with the feet idea. Put some bold colored feet on the console high enough you can see under it so it looks lighter visually. Paint the face only with either an accent color or the wall color to have it either impact you, or disappear. A back will definitely help with the cord issue, it could be as simple as putting fabric stretched tightly across the back with a staple gun, cutting small holes where cords must pass through in a 1.5 inch or so &#039; X&#039; pattern,  folding and pressing the edges back around the cord opening, then spot gluing them to stay. Alternately,for the cord pass through, you could use overside grommets like you see for curtains or shower curtains available at fabric stores. Dritz makes them in assorted sizes and some even snap together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPEAKERS: I would put 4 pieces of self adhesive velcro tabs on each speaker side (2 top-2 bottom) then apply some great fabric cut to fit the height and length of the speaker and sewn or glued at the edges to finish. Make sure to pull it tight.  I suppose even using pinking sheers to finish the edge would be fine. A side slipcover if you will. That way you could change out the fabric on the sides anytime, any season and the speakers would always be black underneath so your wonderful husband wouldn&#039;t feel like you had &quot;ruined&quot; his towers, yet you don&#039;t have to look at the giant black spaces.  Good luck to each of you with a great eye for a design element.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Suggestion for Problem #2: I bought a similiar chair at a garage sale this summer. After months of walking around it while I thought over what to do with it... I ended up re-upholstering the seat a mustard color velvet (against everyone&#039;s advice!). Then I used one of those coupons for a free quart of Clark &#038; Kensington paint, (that they often have at Ace Hardware) and painted the wood &#038; the caneback a matte dark charcoal. It looks amazing; like something you&#039;d find in a high end boutique! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. I love Mandi&#039;s idea to paint just the caneing in gold too! I wish I had thought of that!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Julia, I loved my DIY nightstands that would work PERFECT for these! At Home Depot they sell ready cut tabletops. I got two of them and cut a little off each side to make it so they would fit flat against my wall, then I got &quot;L&quot; hooks and attached them to my wall so I have a &#039;floating nightstand&quot;, if you will! Where these laps are a perfect statement I think the very simple tabletops would totally even it all out and you could place them lower than normal tables to make it so the lamps were at the perfect height! Dont you hate it when you find a good treasure and next thing you know, you need two new tables and possibly a new rug! Haha! &lt;br /&gt;XoXo Kayla]]></description>
