I am being featured today for my Spring Nest Tutorial at Not Just A Housewife!
This project all started with the knobs! I know that's crazy but its true. I have to admit I had the wardrobe sitting in the garage for quite sometime. It was almost sent to Goodwill several times if my family had anything to do with it! Once again I knew it had potential but there is a time for everything. I purchased the knobs before I even knew where they would go. They have a beautiful home now.
Before:
Heres an old picture....
I had the red paint left over from the Hutch Redo. So red it is again! This piece was in pretty bad shape and I am really not done with it. I still have to replace the bottom and back panels and finish painting the inside. I couldn't resist showing the outside!
The inside will be painted in a light grey.
It is hard to see the distressing in the pictures because it is so subtle.
OLD KNOBS YUK!
The knobs!........Did I tell you about the knobs? I love them!
I didn't realize till I put them on that they are hearts. Even better! Remember the wooden ones in the before picture?
Before:
After:
I love the mirrors on this too! (except you can see my mess through them)
This is not in its permanent space because I am still working on it. It always amazes me how much better these pieces look with a coat of paint. It becomes an addiction. I am looking through the house wondering if I should paint something else! I need to start selling this stuff in a store so my house won't look like one!
Did I tell you I love the knobs?

This looks lovely. I am so glad you went with a nice bright color instead of white. Not that there is ANYTHING wrong with white...I am partial to it myself but that is only because I lack the gusto to take on a color! Good on you!
Oh - and I LOVE the knobs too!!
Beautiful job....and I love those KNOBS, too!!!
Oh Deneen that is beautiful! I love that red. Looks amazing hun:)!!

I love the knobs, too. And I really like this wardrobe. I live in a small cottage with only 1 closet. No kidding! I do have a piece that holds a lot of my clothes, but the wardrobe would be much better. You have inspired me to find a similar piece to paint.
Well this knocked me off my socks! Well done, just love the color and those knobs to match...way to go!

You chose the perfect color for your transformation. Great job. Love you blog - found you at the Newbie party.
Those knobs are too cute. I love how it turned out!
Such an improvement! I spent a good part of Saturday digging through the knobs at Anthroplogie-yours are great. I love the red cabinet. I have two red cabinets at Brambly and I haven't regretted the color for a moment. I'm sure it will look terrific wherever you place it. Have a wonderful evening.

Those knobs are totally worth re-doing the armoire! It's like finding a fabulous pair of shoes and then having to buy an outfit to go with it! Beautifully done.
