My mom's outdated TV console had seen better days—so I gave it a serious upgrade. In this video, I design and build a sleek, modern floating media console out of beautiful Ash wood with a white wash finish, complete with LED lighting, soft-close drawers, and it “floats” thanks to a French cleat wall-mount system. This piece is clean, functional, and full of thoughtful details that make it shine—literally. From material selection to final install, I walk you through the entire build process step-by-step and break down what I did wrong and what I would do differently next time. Whether you're looking for modern furniture inspiration or clever woodworking techniques, you’ll find plenty in this one.
