Conversation Piece

This week’s conversation piece could persuade you to go antique shopping this weekend. Armoires were commonly used for storing clothing but, today, can be used to store virtually anything. This armoire was converted into a practical bar for a dining room. The white, fading paint gives it a vintage and romantic feel.

Instead of a bookshelf in a bedroom or a traditional china cabinet for your dining room, try sprucing up an old armoire you may have in storage. You can also find many modern armoires on the market today. If you’re partaking in spring cleaning this season, this could be a perfect opportunity to create a new space for storage. Here are a few ways to make a statement with this practical piece.
