I bought this armoire on Craig’s List on Saturday. I needed something for my 5 year old’s room – the mess is out of control in there! I paid $125 for it – she originally wanted $200 so I felt like it was a pretty good deal. (I am used to garage sale prices!!) The armoire was from an antique store in Beverly Hills – sold!!
I got it home and immediately sanded it and painted it…in the dark! I might be the world’s most impatient person!
By Monday morning 3 coats of paint had been applied.
I decided to distress it a touch. I like the “shabby” feel of it. I love the detail of the flowers – perfect for the princess Rapunzel room!!
When I was done with the distressing, I rubbed Minwax Finishing Paste on it – it’s my FAVORITE way to finish furniture. I love the feel it gives it!
It is hard to photograph in my daughter’s room – but we got it all moved in last night – yea!!!
This looks so great!! Wonderful job!
Take Care,
