I thought I would post to Diane's Trash to Treasure. I've been lurking over there and seeing all the great thrifty finds for a while now...might as well join the fun! This is a armoire (spl) I found in a thrift store. I only paid $80 for it and thought that was a bargain. Someone had done a dry paint all over it in blue and I really didn't like how it looked. I also think it might have been left outside because it was filthy inside. It only has 4 knobs in this picture and since I redid it i lost one so I only have 3 now. Maybe I'll come across 2 like these? Probably not...
I think it might have originally had glass where the chicken wire is now.
This is after sanding and using paint remover *stinky* for what seemed forever. I had so many cramps in my hands doing the sanding on this thing.
I painted the inside a cream color and decoupaged old hymnal sheets on the shelves. I had some pretty ribbon I put on the edges.

I decided to hang some burlap like material behind the wire while I used it as extra storage....I might change that up once we get finished with the remodeling on the house.
