White Armoire

We painted our TV armoire white.

As you can see in the before pictures, it was kind of a dirty looking color.  It was part of a bedroom set that belonged to my daughter.  When she bought a new one, I took the armoire and her daughter took the bed and night tables.

It has beautiful carvings on it...


I kept the original hardware and just painted them white...

H added some can lights above the shelf...

The lights really make a difference ...

I covered up the TV stand with a floral garland...oops...I see a run in the paint!  H can fix that in a heart beat!

It really brightened up the corner...I love it!

    It looks far better painted white (tho the photos look pale pink) and it makes the carvings stand out more. So cool!

    Penny it looks gorgeous and I love the rose and pink touches. I painted ours a while back to go with our bedroom and scheduled it for this coming week to post too. Love the carvings on yours. Really a gorgeous piece.
    Happy Memorial weekend.

    Fabulous! I have an old hutch that belonged to one of my late Grandmothers and it's going to be painted white, too! Can't wait. You did a fabulous job. Did you use any kind of special paint or just plain white? Susan

    What a transformation! It really showcases the floral china, and honest, I can't see the paint run! I found you through Ivy and Elephants.
