Do It Yourself

My TV console is in a dying stage. The clear glass panel got unremovable stains and the doors are having difficulties to close properly. Wood dusts are accumulating at corners for whatever the reason is, I no longer care to find out. My suggestion to change it was turned down by the house master :( Well, guess I have to live with the dying console for couple of months more before it finally RIP (rest in peace or rip itself off).

I bought a tinted black adhensive film from the hardware store and I planned to paste it on the stained glass. The film costed $17+ and based on the instructions stated it wasn't difficult to DIY. Initially I was pretty ambitious, I even thought of cutting out some pattern designs before pasting. But dropped the idea after realising that its not easy and might spoil the film if I don't have a pair of steady hands. Therefore, the final decision was just to paste the original film and it turned out nicely. And after pasting I discovered that the film is reflective, so it double up as a mirror for my boys. I am so happy and proud of my DIY job! After this, my confidence level is boost up, might take up more challenging tasks next. Wonder will hubby starts to worry our house is at my mercy???
