My wife wanted a TV stand and also wanted me to cut down on the skulls laying around so I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone. I started out making a frame with trimmed down 2X4s & 2X2s.
Then I started trimming the outside with 1X4s.
I cut a piece of OSB and covered it in some spray foam for texture. I painted the OSB and foam, then I used glue to add a couple different types of dirt.
I stained it, cut off the corners of the floor and put it inside.
I then added plexi-glass windows and feet.. Since it was going to be a TV stand I didn't bother staining the back.
I cut and stained a top for it.
I added a couple skulls and a little shed antler. I also added some desert foliage from Hobby Lobby. and placed with our entertainment center.
I added an LED light to the ceiling of it as well as to the back of the TV.
The LED light can be changed to the color of your choice.
If I were to do it over again, I"d have made the back match the front so that if in the future, we change entertainment centers, it could double as a coffee table.
