I would describe this wardrobe as Beachy or Country as I could see it in either styles of decorating. Sometimes when you buy pieces to make over you have to sleep on it for a few nights until you can decide on the look your wanting to achieve. This was not the case with this piece. As soon as I saw it I knew exactly how it would end up looking and thankfully this is it.
Painted white panels are lots of sanding so the timber pops through.
Forgot to take a photo of the inside but it has hanging on the left and heaps of drawers of the right, a very functional piece.
A new lamp shade I re-covered.
Round crystal knobs to replace the old metal pulls.
These candle holders have the perfect amount of rust on them.
Would suit any part of the home, could be used in the bedroom, laundry, kitchen or even holding all your crafts.

I love it, and love the colour choice…pale blue and white keeps popping up on my projects at the moment too!
I love the heart shaped topiary too 🙂

Hi Sandy
I am passionate about her work and if I lived near you, surely would not leave his shop. But I live across the world, in Brazil. She's beautiful, you are very talented. I have a wardrobe like this color, but with three doors. I would love to make this lovely painting it. Would you teach me in a step by step? Asking to much? Sorry, but you inspire me. Kisses, happy turn of the year and that 2012 will be much better than 2011 was.
with love
