Fabulous, huh?
And BIG! This huge 5-door armoire is 8 feet long!
How was I going to get it home?
Well those ingenious Europeans figured out a way to break it down into parts so it could easily be transported.
So we took it apart and took it home.
That certainly made it easier to paint!
I pulled the parts out and gave them two coats of ASCP Old White.
Then I distressed them lightly, gave them a coat of clear wax, and a light gray glaze.
It's kinda strange painting when you don't know how it will all come together!
We loaded all the parts up and took them to my new booth and got a tutorial on how to put it all together.
I love it when a plan comes together!

OMGOSH! WHAT a fabulous piece! I love it and it is one of the best armoires I have seen anywhere- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI'm with Suzan on this one, I use to see these at different resale stores, and always wished I had the space for one, now they are so expensive that I can't afford one. It is truly beautiful, glad you didn't say no.

Wow! A fabulous piece and so unique! I love the paint finish that you gave it. Thank goodness for the ability to be able to take that large piece apart! I saw your post over at "No Minimalist Here " blog party.

ReplyDeleteHi Cindi, I have nominated you for a Liebster Award. Please visit my home page for details @ thedecoratingduchess.
ReplyDeleteWow...what a fabulous statement piece...great job!
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine the room that armoire was originally in. I painted a little cabinet Old White last night and finished it up this morning. That was a lot easier than your project.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I'd love to see the look on my husband's face if I came home with something sooo big! But it sure is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteI am drooling. My ex sister in law has one of these in her bedroom and uses it for her closet. This is just so stunning. I believe that if I had this I would make room in my house someway for it. Wow
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous piece! I saw a similar one for a crazy low price last Fall on kijiji (online local classified) but didn't even think to ask if it knocked down.
ReplyDeleteHi Sweetie, I saw a piece like this over 20 years ago and fell in love. Is this piece for sale? How tall is it at the highest point? I am in love with it. Thanks.
