A home stylist has shared how she created an ultra-chic entertainment device from scratch that looks like designer versions that cost up to $800.
Geneva Vanderzeil, of Brisbane, designed the chic wooden furniture herself and made it using tools she had at home and affordable supplies from Bunnings.
“I had in mind a round TV cabinet with slats made from dowels, and wanted to create a nice clean look with no visible screws or nails,” she wrote in a blog post on her popular home styling website.

‘After a lot of planning and research, I found out that I could use furniture legs and pine wood to make the base! It actually turned out to be that easy!’
The DIY queen started by rounding the edges of two pine panels and used the first as a template for the second so they match and sanded around the edges.
Geneva measured and marked where she wanted to place her four of her screw-in furniture legs on one of the panels, drilled four small holes and screwed the legs in by hand.

She then drilled a hole in the bottom of the remaining four legs to accommodate the screws that poke through the top of the wood panel.
Geneva turned the legs over the screws protruding from the top of the pine piece.
The creative do-it-yourselfer drilled four holes in the bottom of the second panel of pine where the top four legs were placed and punched it into place.

After securing the structure of her unit, Geneva took her pine towels, cut them to length and evenly spaced them around the curve of the unit.
“I absolutely love the way this piece turned out. It looks so chic and custom made when in reality it was a very simple project!,” she said
“Use a cloth and a rubber mallet for this part to make sure you don’t damage the wood,” she suggested.

After all the dowels were glued in place, she let them dry overnight.
