A big piece in the room is the armoire. I grabbed it at GW for $50.
I think someone wanted to distress it, it didn’t go as planned and off to GW it went.
Here is the transformation.







Inside of the doors.


Again:

Now:

This was done with Old White and Paris Grey Chalk Paint. When I showed a friend the finished piece, we realized that it left a chalky residue on your hands. This was because I sanded it and had yet to wax it. Now that it’s waxed, all is right with the piece.
Hope you like it!

What a steal!!
I think you did a great job!! I got a really great tip on waxing, my least fav thing about these paints that I so love.
Vicki at 3oaksstudio.com shared her fab tip about using a mouse sander (at HD and lowes) with a polishing pad- it makes the job 100000x faster and easier. It's Amazing! she is sooo sweet. She even sent me a polishing pad because they don't carry them at my local stores. You did a great job on this armoire!! Looking forward to seeing what you do next. Please send some advice my way- I'm stuck in a rut and can't decide what colors to paint what pieces... www.crookcreations.blogspot.com

Pretty! I love the color. So much better than the original :)
Love it! Those knobs are such a nice detail.
It looks great! And it's spacious inside, you wouldn't expect it.
I love your armoire, the paint you chose is beautiful, great job!
I also like the way you hide the t.v.
I hate my black eye sore.
Hugs.
