Entertainment Center to Armoire

Recently my parents were getting rid of their old entertainment center and I was in need of another dresser for my closet room. Since I am a big fan of FREE I worked on figuring out a way it could work.  
Here is the before picture of the very 90s entertainment center:

First I took off the doors and all of the hardware, except the rollers for the drawers because they were on the inside and I didn't plan on painting the inside. Then I lightly sanded all of the places I planned on painting. 
Next I went to town with some purple spray paint.  I used about 6 cans! 
I would suggest not to put your face too close to small spaces where you're shooting compressed air into. I definitely got a face full of purple paint! 

Here's what it looks like after paint!



I then found some cool chevron plastic tubs at WalMart to add to the pull out shelves.  I decided I liked the open look of the door so I didn't cover it with anything.  


On the side I mounted one of my mirrors with hooks for my hats and some hooks for belts. 


In the end, I was very pleased with the transformation.  It holds as much, or more than a normal size dresser and it keeps small things (like socks and undies) separated better than big dresser drawers! 
The best part? I only bought spray paint and plastic drawers!
