I found this fabulous french styled armoire with lots of potential...

Ok so I needed to adjust some lighting I think b/c a few people have let me know that it was kinda dark so heres an attempt to brighten the place up (it looks alittle blue in the pics but it is grey). Sorry my home is always set for mood...




Ok...I'm not sure where the before photo is but this is the after...when I found it, she was taken all the way down and just stained I applied the appliques and got to work finishing her in a french grey and antique white with a dark stain finish. I have to put the knobs on and but this is ALMOST the finished project. I am thinking about some fabulous crystal knobs on the cabinet and the originals painted and stained below.

    I love your armoire. Lovely blog but I have a hard time seeing the font, it's a little dark. Not a criticism, just wishing it were a little lighter. Maybe its just my old eyes.

    Love it! I think I may have that same armoire in my guest room. I'd been contemplating painting it, but it seems like such a huge task. You did a great job :)
