Before I even get started, these pictures do not do this piece of furniture justice. I have seriously got to get better at taking photos of my projects, but in the meantime.......
This armoire holds our computer in the study. When we got it (for free!!!) it was pine, then I painted it red, and then painted it black when we moved into the house we're in now. I made the mistake of trying to cover satin red paint with flat black, and got these lovely scratches all over that now have red showing through. Anyhoo, I was getting tired of looking at black, and Nester inspired me to go lighter. So, I picked up some Behr Paint and Primer Combo paint at Home Depot this past weekend when we were in El Paso, and let me just say that I love that paint. It is amazing. Period. It covered this in one coat and looks really good. I also spray painted the hinges black to get rid of the brassy gold.
Here she is after. It looks really good against our chocolate walls. Now I just need to set some pretties on the top and it will be all done!
"new" hinges - I am in love with spray paint
I think it looks really nice from the open living area of our house looking into that room.
Hey pretty! You amaze me! Love what you have done with your armoire!!! Sorry I havent gotten back to you about the paper. I have gotten Amy Butler paper at Hobby Lobby, and Michaels. It usually comes in pads of 36 and it is double sided. Loooove it! It runs around 12 bucks a pack. But if you can print out a coupon online, sometimes you can get them 40% off. I bet you could get it online as well. Last time I was in C-bad I went into that scrapbooking store downtown, and they didnt have any.
