Beautiful Bedroom Armoire
This is the armoire in my bedroom.
My husband keeps his clothes in it because I took the whole closet.
I am off for the summer and ready to work.
First on the list is this armoire.
I am over the knotty pine look and ready for some of my favorite neutral colors.
I'm using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Graphite for this piece.
I start out with one light coat of chalk paint®.
Painting this piece is easy.
I painted the outside and only the inside of the doors, not the entire inside.
{Don't tell my husband but I left his clothes inside while I painted} hehe
When the chalk paint® was dry I used a fine grit sandpaper to distress the edges then used Artisan Enhancements Clear Topcoat to seal the piece.
The top coat goes on a little milky but dries clear so don't panic!

This piece turned out quite beautiful!!!! I was skeptical with the first photos but the finished one is lovely!! Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteWell thank you Tess... that was only one coat :)
DeleteGreat makeover! I have to admit I chuckled when I saw your husband's shorts hanging on the side in that one photo. Something my husband would do!
