Old World on a New Armoire

This was so fun to work on.  It's nice to find an armoire that has doors the whole length of the front, a very functional piece of furniture with great storage.

Thanks for the photo, Tina!



It had bun feet on the bottom which needed to go but the rest was solid wood.  Even the back was 1/2 inch pine. This one became a favorite after mixing three layers of different blue plaster paints, sanding it back a bit and then adding a dark wax.  I love it! Now it lives in a terracotta dining room where it really feels more old world.
