Boy, am I excited to finally be posting this project. The armoire is finally finished! Just so you remember, here’s what it looked like when I found it at a yard sale for $5:
Kinda sad and definitely dated. But this thing is real wood. And it was $5. Five bucks!
I ripped off the trim on the side panels and patched the holes, changed out the hardware and gave it a nice, clean coat of white. And here she is, in all her glory:
I am loving the sleek new handles:
A six-pack was only $7 at Target. Woo hoo!
One project down, one more to go and then I’ll be ready to show you my whole living room.
And because we all love before and after photos, here you go:

Love it! Hope you saved the removed trim. It could come in handy in the future.
Bonnie, I saved the old trim and the old hardware!
You did a great job and what a lucky find!
It really was so lucky. Thanks for stopping by, Tamara!
Wow! That looks AMAZING! Great job!
Thanks Kristi!
That was a big job! It looks great! Alise
Thanks Alise. You know all about refinishing furniture and how exciting it is when it's done. I am still looking for something I can paint pink like your kitchen island thing. 🙂
Looks beautiful! And what's even better is the $5 price tag!
I know! I still can't believe I found such a steal!
What paint did you use? I simply love this!
