PRIMITIVE CLOSET - fixing up an armoire

I hurt my shoulder a while
back but as it starts to heal
I start to get anxious wanting
to move around and create or
fix something.

I focused on a simple closet I had that need a lift in style,

as well as a NEW FLOOR. I came up with some clever

ideas using paint and wax.

BEFORE                                 AFTER

The original color was a creamy mocha. I gave it a good

sanding and distressed the edges. I white washed the doors

 and sanded them smooth before waxing. Using dark wax, I 

 highlighted the inside edge of the raised panel on the doors. The fleur de lis designs were stenciled with dark wax. That was a spur of the moment experiment and it worked. To

Here is a look at the new floor I installed.

I sat cross legged on the floor in front of the closet marking

all the cuts needed for the new white tongue and groove floor

boards. Then I would take the boards outside and cut them

 with the jigsaw. I started at one side and worked my way 

across. I enjoy the process of making things fit and work.
