How to reuse a TV that needs replacing

In the age of high-performance televisions, the old TV models we have at home, perhaps inherited from our grandmother or jealously kept in the cellar, can be recycled in creative ways , also because disposing of them is really difficult, given that they do not end up in the separate collection chain but are managed as electronic waste.

Table

That old television, which we keep out of pure affection, becomes a vintage coffee table when emptied of all its electronics and placed on its back. The glass of the television becomes the support surface, while on the bottom you can install a custom-made door so that the interior of the set serves as a storage unit.

Dog house

I love the idea of ​​turning an old television into a dog (or cat) bed or a wet bar: stripped of their internals, they'll transform into decorative objects that will amaze everyone. If you fill it with water, the TV will become a beautiful aquarium.

Library

Take the frame of a small television, one of those portable ones or those that were suitable for small spaces, and after having emptied it, fill it with books: here's a small bookcase for the children's bedroom or to place in the kitchen with recipe books on display.

Mirror

From your old television, use only the front part, the one with the glass screen, and replace it with a mirror cut to size: you will have a one-of-a-kind wall mirror .

Puppet Theater

The puppet theater idea , built into an old television, is a great one. Remove the glass screen and cover the structure with scraps of fabric to make a curtain. Then set it up on an easel or cabinet and start playing.
