For those that may not be familiar with my freakin’ fabulous furniture posts, every Friday I feature some super sweet furniture. Sometimes I will feature furniture that I refinish myself. Sometimes I will feature furniture that is refinished by you, and sometimes I will feature furniture on my wish list from retail stores. Today, I get to show you a dream come true, (kind of). I love amazing furniture, and this piece has been on my wish list for YEARS! I am not kidding. A few years ago I took a picture of this AMAZING media cabinet/buffet on my phone, and I have wanted it every since. It is the perfect turquoise color, and the doors are ULTRA unique. Ever since that first phone photo, I am telling you, I have DREAMED about this furniture. I love that the doors are reclaimed from South America, and each one is slightly different because of that. The doors are chunky, chippy, and just plain magnificent. Since we have been working on Jill’s house, I have had this piece in the back of my mind. I wanted the media cabinet to be masculine and this piece was THE. PERFECT. choice. I was freaking out when Jill and Matt loved it as much as I did! Oh my gosh! You are going to LOVE when you see it in Jill’s House. (Which, by the way, I am HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE WE ARE TAKING FINAL PHOTOS OF TODAY!!!) Can you hear be screaming with excitement because I’m pretty sure I’m screaming loud enough that you should hear me around the world. Are you excited to see it!?!?
Just look at these amazing doors. The knobs are fantastic and the colors are a fantastic turquoise chippy paint mixed in with the original stained wood.
When we were searching for the perfect media cabinet for her house, we had a lot of concerns because we wanted her components to be functional. But everywhere we looked, we found wooden doors or drawers that would prevent the function of the remote control. How annoying would it be to have to stand up and open the door to your media cabinet every time you wanted to watch your favorite tv show!?! BIG time annoying.
So, the amazing peeps over at Living Eclection (where this bad boy came from) informed us of these special remote control systems that you can buy online that go through wooden doors, walls…etc. As soon as we knew that it was going to function correctly for a media cabinet, we were FREAKING out. I might have done a little jig in the store because it was sooo amazing.
As always, the pictures don’t do this bad boy justice, and one of the coolest things about choosing this cabinet for Jill’s house was that Jilly’s husband Matt lived in Honduras for two years, and he said that the doors remind him of the time he lived there. I love that!!
The media cabinet is just a little glimpse of what you get to see next week of Jilly’s house. Stay tuned. You won’t want to miss this! Here is a little sneak peak! Gotta love the amazing TV frame I’ve already told you about from Aspen Mills, too!
The Living Eclection is a great place to find AMAZING unique furniture items. They have the coolest reclaimed wood furniture. If you are ever in St. George, you should really stop by and check it out. PLUS. they just opened a second store in St. George right next to Paradise bakery. You should stop in and see their cool stuff. I bet you’ll like it.
The store Living Eclection is located at 2051 E. Red Hills Parkway St. George, UT 84770 Their phone number is (435) 656-1708 if you have any questions about their furniture. I was not paid by Living Eclection to post about this freakin’ fantastic furniture. I simply shared it with you because I LOVED IT!

CraZy!!! I was in Paradise (they hold the record for my fav choc chip cookie as of yet BTW) and my sis in law wanted to go in that place. When I was looking at it all I totally thought "Brooke would die over this stuff" I was right!!! My husband is from India and she said some of it is from there. It was incredible to see. Anyway my sis in law and bro in law are buying about 5 pieces from there for the home they're building. I told her about the warehouse in SLC that they HAD to see too. Freaking fantastic furniture finds is flippin fabulous 🙂
I can't wait to see the finished product!!! It's going to be gorgeous!!! I've not had a chance to work on my dining room table/chairs and china hutch yet but hopefully next week :o) LOVE love your advice and your blog!!! Thanks Brooke
