Last week I “showed you the progress” on the painting of my TV armoire in our master bedroom. I also admitted I hadn’t cleaned the room or made the bed since I started the project. Admitting that made me go on a mission to get ‘er done! Well here she is in all her aqua glory!
Let’s have a look at her before shall we?
And the after…lighter, fresher…more today.
The armoire wasn’t awful beforehand. It was a medium wood tone. However, I have so much wood going on with my dresser, nightstands, and bed base that I wanted to lighten up the space. So the half wood/half laminate armoire became my victim. If you missed my post on how to paint laminate click here.
I used Lake Champlain in Satin by Dutch Boy’s Refresh Line. It was a nice color but needed to be toned down a bit to tie in the rest of the decor. I used Ralph Lauren’s glaze in Smoke. Here is a close-up of the finish.
I would love for the armoire to stay closed, it looks so much nicer with the doors shut.
But here is how it looks 99% of the time.
I added $7 open woven baskets from The Christmas Tree Shops. They were perfect for the DVD player and the cable box. 
I just poked the cords through the basket. Since it so loosely woven the remote still works through the basket but the “stuff” is hidden.
I am absolutely in love with this space. Where once my master was my least favorite room in the house it has now gained a little with all the little changes. What do you think?
Here are the posts you missed on my master “refreshment.”
