I've added a new luxury condo to the "office". 3/4 of the way there!
This one turned out to be easier than I orginally had anticipated. This entertainment stand was free and within 10 minutes of my house. Its 2 of the towers with a bridge at the top.
One or two of the shelves was a little bit of work as it was set into the cabinet. I busted it out and used some putty to fill the bigger gaps. [Just cause] Then I hit it with a slight bit of a random color stain I had to blend it better than bright white. And removed the window - simple gasket removal and the whole window came off.
Afterwards, I sprayed a nice base coat of Flex Seal (clear this try). Next was the easy part, I actually had enough screen from when I did my hutch to do this. I personally use a compressor and a staple gun to screen mine and go back over it with flex seal and/or silicone caulk. I drilled 2x 4-1/4" holes in the top for lighting - I plan to add either LED strip/tape lighting or just modular lighting for plants.
I use little "eye screws" and florist wire to attach the fake vines to. This allows any wandering plants and skeleton to grow over. I hit any new holes and scratched with a brown satin spray, followed by the flex seal. There was a cut out for cords in the bottom which I screened and repurposed. Then it was just a matter to shooting a few nails into some plants to attach them to the walls.
The final project cost me less than $40 and about a weekend of my time. Most of what I used was left over from my hutch build. I'm thinking I may have to drill some more holes for air flow, maybe add a CPU fan.
Thanks for looking!!

I'd really love to do this with an old china hutch at some point!
