Arm-WHAT!?

We got this sweet armoir from our friends who were trying to make more room for their baby for free! So I sanded it, painted it, and got some sweet knobs at Anthropologie. I am so excited to finally have a real piece of furniture in our room! The bottom knobs are still the originals, I just need to soak them in some solution that will brighten them up and I think they'll be better.

  3. Hey Michelangelo... how'd you know that was in there?? It looks so great. I have been inspired. I've had an ugly old dresser in our room for SEVEN years now... way too long. It'll be new by the end of the week.

  7. This post reminds of the Soup Nazi episode of Seinfeld. If you remember in that episode Elaine has her Armouir stolen by some street toughs and is given a new one by the unknowing soup nazi. Anyway I think I'm going to go watch that episode right now.

  8. it looks great!!! Mom is here and she thinks it looks great too. We are both impressed! I live by the adage that everything looks great with new paint and new knobs so don't pass anything paintable up! Love ya Sara
