Without Further ado, here she is!
For those of you who missed my previous post about this, I picked up this old gun case holder at the local thrift store for $25.
As soon as I saw it I knew it would be great for my girls' dress-up clothes in their room so I didn't have to trip over THIS mess anymore:
So I took it home, gave it a good cleaning, removed the gun rack shelf, and filled in all the holes with wood filler.
Then I sanded, primed, and painted it with Valspar's Bright White in Satin.
I found this cute knob at Hobby Lobby and used a 50% coupon to snag it for only $3.99. It compliments the fabric I used perfectly!
Next, I created a curtain behind the opening in the door. Check back tomorrow to see how I went about making this curtain.
The inside of the drawer was disgusting.
So I covered it with white contact paper which made it feel so much cleaner and fresh:
And after all that work here it is all put together.
I also added a tension rod inside the armoire for them to hang their dresses, wings, and tutus on.
I found a couple of buckets laying around that I put their play jewelery, sunglasses, and combs in.
I absolutely LOVE it, and to make it even sweeter so do my girls!
My girls use their dress up clothes SO much more now that they are so organized and accessible.
I hope you all like it as much as we do!
