Vintage Jewelry Armoire Redo/Diy!


 

Hard to believe it started similar this.
Nearly a YEAR ago...in a seat down far far away...

I haggled a sweetness older pair downwards from $25 to $9
on this vintage jewelry armoire.
The knobs were broken off...severe scratches...and needs work.
I got it final Nov (2011) amongst the hopes of
finishing it for myself for Christmas.
That didn't happen.

We shipped it along amongst the residuum of our materials to North Carolina...
where it sat inwards the garage for near six months.
I told my hubby that I needed tending figuring out how to larn the knobs off...
since the hardware didn't become through the whole drawer front.

Immediately, he popped off the facades too took the knob hardware off!
Easy!
He labeled all the drawers too faces for me.

It wasn't until THIS indicate that I realized that this vintage dresser was
laminate...not sum wood. blech!
So, instead of sanding too refinishing beautiful wood...
I primed them too spray painted them AQUA!

Totally justified inwards using spray paint!
I left the pinkish velvety interior though! It's inwards bully shape
too looks similar a nightmare to refinish!

Once everything was painted blue,
I took it all inside.
Used gum to attache the facades too novel knobs from the store
(I splurged! five crystal knobs were $2 each, the 8 silvery knobs were $2.47 each)
You create the math! I used (part of) my $200 gift card
from my recent Astrobright win!

lovely!

Put it all together...re-hinged the last past times piece...
too took it outdoors for a moving painting fest!


Love that proper substantive drawer!




Love those curvy legs!

Still about dings too dents...but who's looking?



It's packed amongst jewelry now!
I am thrilled! :)
And all my sleeping room article of furniture matches!
