Plain Pine Armoire No More!

My next furniture project is this plain pine armoire.  It started out in our living room and then moved upstairs to a spare bedroom.

Using some wood appliques {that I got from the gift certificate I won from a Centsational Girl giveaway back in November to Cabinetknobs.com} I attached them to the doors of the armoire.  I turned them upside down because I liked them better that way.

Having no wood glue on hand, I tried it with Gorilla Glue and used blue painters tape to hold it in place until the glue dried.

Using my trusty {and free} can of Glidden Onyx black paint, this is getting transformed!  Besides the paint, I used a sponge brush, regular brush and foam roller.  The regular brush actually worked better than the sponge brush with all the little areas I needed to hit.

Here she is ~ looking quite lovely, although not totally finished!

I. Love. It!   Just like with my coffee table, I feel like I’ve got a brand new piece of furniture!  I am thinking of adding some clear glass knobs to replace the wood ones that were on it.  A coat of polyurethane and it will be done!

So glad I did this {even if it did take up a whole Saturday, and then some for touch-ups}!  Here is the before and after side-by-side.

I’ll show this off again once I get knobs and accessorize the top, but I did want to share it now.
