Craigslist Armoire Refinished - FINALLY!

Posted on 17:10 by clark

The $75 Craigslist solid wood armoire is FINALLY finished!!!


If you recall, we furnished much of our master bedroom from Craigslist back in March.  You can read more about those purchases here. 
For several months, the armoire sat in the garage, because Matt and I couldn't move it on our own:( 
It was finally moved upstairs Labor Day weekend when we had some extra man-power:)

 But upstairs it sat for several weeks until I got around to sanding, priming and painting the beast!

I refinished the armoire just like I did this piece of furniture (the free trash from my neighbor).  Luckily, I didn't have to spend any money on supplies for this project, since I had plenty leftover from the last one. 

You can find the tutorial here.  Refer to it to see the list of supplies I used for this project.

This past weekend, I added hardware for $1.50 a knob from Hobby Lobby (half off of course).


I realy like the way this piece turned out.  Not bad for $75:)  It sure beats my $400 inspiration piece from Ikea and the $800 pieces I've seen elsewhere.   
Now we just need a T.V to put in the armoire......I think Santa may be taking care of that for us this Christmas;)
