armoire becomes a bar
Y'all are lookin' at a screen grab of one of the shots (by fab photog Kelly Marshall) from another one of my interior projects:
This is a detail pic of a bar, that I made from an old armoire from Salvation Army...
Check back soon for the hawt REVEAL shots of the rest of the space! HOLLA!
For some HOT Before and After action up in this 'dazzle, what...THRIFT WHORE THURSDAY!?!This thrift store armoire was scored for a client while out whoring weeks ago:
Don't be shy babydoll, we need to see the goods:
Here's where we are today:
And:
YES, y'all! This armoire has been totally tricked out: new paint job, drawers lined in pink felt, custom mirror added to the inside back topped off with some interior lighting chic-ness!
The client is just thrilled beyond belief with how this turned out and so am I...just goes to show y'all what some good honest thrift whoring can do for your lives...happy whoring!
Trust that I've not forgotten what day it is, Dazzlers! No no! But I must confess this week's Trift Whore Thursday is a little different than the usual shenanigans...I stumbled upon this little man in my local Salvation Army for $69! HOT!:
Damn! It just so happens that I'm working on a new interiors project where I'm in need of some additional dining room storage. Now, most folks wouldn't look upon this armoire as something that could do much for a dining room, but hear me out, y'all after you get a peek at what's happening inside:
This dude has drawers for days! And that giant open space is just begging to become a bar! YES! With the easy addition of a mirror glued in back, some under mount lighting and some spray paint-- what damn time are drinks SERVED?! Yesterday, whores!
Y'all, I see these types of armoires ALL THE TIME when I'm out Thrift Whoring...they're like workhorses that you can customize for any function...and they're most often dirt cheap, so with some TLC and a little creativity, you can get a one-of-a-kind piece for minimal $$$. I love that this armoire has all this amazing wood pattern detailing on the front...it adds to the character, and again, when this is painted out in one color, it's going to look stunning. The drawers are just amazing as is, for obvious reasons...who in hell doesn't have a drawer they can't fill, so my client is gonna j'adore having four in this baby...Another great feature with armoires is that when you don't want to look at all that stuff anymore, you just close it away and you're left with this clean, chic, self-contained jewel box!
So stay tuned y'all, for the transformation of this Thrift Whore score into a amazing style slap! And happy whoring!
