TV Stand

July 13, 2010 by Bethany Sy

What would you call this? A TV stand? A coffee table? A buffet? I probably would know if I hadn't dropped out of Interior Design school... but I have no regrets.Anyway, this darling piece of furniture I found sitting by a dumpster when I was helping my bro move out of student housing a few years back.
