DIY Fabric Rack {Repurposed DVD rack}

After we moved into our new house, one of my BFFs made us an amazing built-in entertainment center.

It started as a pipedream of mine, when I saw this totally wasted space in the family room of our new-to-us house that we bought last year. See before pics below:

Looking all the way across the great room from
the kitchen to the yucky, unused double closets.

Close-up shot that shows the fireplace on the
far right - that's where the TV was mounted
with the prior owners. It made for a tight, cramped
space.

Good thing you can't smell through the computer.
These doors were soaked in years of nicotine,
smoke, and musty grossness!

Needless to say, it had to go.

This is what we ended up with:

Amazing, isn't it?! HUGE THANKS to Paul!

So it made our old DVD racks completely obsolete. (This was a good thing).

The first one got repurposed into a diaper changing rack:

Doesn't match her furniture, but it
works great!

The other one has been sitting in our garage, unused and without any purpose since we moved in over a year ago.

For ZERO dollars, I was able to take it from this:

Rickety, old DVD rack

 To this:

Fabric stash now organized!

see all the fabric from the front)

It's awesome! Hubby rolled his eyes and laughed, but was glad I was able to repurpose yet another item doomed for the dump! Originally, I was going to use it for ribbon, but I'd get much more use out of it this way!
