Antique Armoire

I bought an antique armoire for my anniversary.  I have never chalked painted anything.  Well blogging friends this was my first!  Thanks to my daughter Jessica for helping me and keeping me focused on completing this project.  I found a $2 table cloth at Goodwill and loved the color grey.  I new this would make a beautiful duvet.  So the inspiration color for my antique armoire as you can see in the pics is grey.  I even hand painted my anniversary year.  I am no artist but love the way it turned out.  They say practice makes perfect,  well I definitely practiced with some chalk paint.  I would love to know what you think.  My bedroom is a work in progress now!  I have to get to work on the duvet!  Thank you for tuning in, more to come.

  8. Ooooh! Swooning over this armoire, Debby! It looks just beautiful - great job on your first try with chalk paint! When I see beautiful armoires, I am reminded of my grandmother - who moved into a new house with closets, and was so happy to have closets - that she took her 3 armoires outside to the burn pile and burned them because she didn't need them anymore!!! Can you believe that? Anyway, love the way you transformed this. Hugs, Catherine
