Armoire make-over


I had a client who wanted her armoire updated.

We decided to do a grey-ish cream and sage green palette.

We then added some artwork to fancy it up a bit.

And then moved some bookcases to match to give it a more built in feel.

She was still deciding on knobs, but I think amber knobs or crystal knobs would really make the piece pop.
I know I am late to the party, but Kimba's having another DIY day!

Hi Jen! Love how it turned out! The bookshelves does give it more presence too! I think the amber knobs would be gorgeous on it.

Hugs,
