Well it didn't exactly look like this when I found it. (I should have taken before pictures, but I always forget to do that, when I am excited about starting a project). It started out really ugly, take my word for it. It was a dark greenish color, with sort of painted books on the front of it. I think they were going for that fake library book look.
So I put some primer on, painted it with a cream color, then shabbied it up a bit.
The weird thing is that I have been looking for one of these mini armoires. I looked on ebay, and at some flea markets. The prices ranged from about $20.00 to $35.00 plus shipping etc.
Well, this one was only $7.00.
So when you have that sudden impulse to pull over to that thrift store, garage/yard sale or side of the road, DO IT!!!
You never know what you might find.

$7!!! You lucky thing! I swear I'm going to have to start traveling to go to thrift shops cause the ones by me usually just have junk. You did a great job - it looks super cute and I'm sure it'll be a handy item to have!

Oh that's just lovely. I've been looking for something like that too to go in our bathroom.Good for you finding it.
I just love that, Glad you showed it with the accessories, I couldn't get my brain around the size until then.
You tagged me, not really sure what to do now, but I think I have to find 7 people to tag and tell some stuff about myself. Am I right??
