I love your whites and all your photos. What is your wall colour, the colour of your armoire and the colour of the dresser reflected in the mirror? I have a couple of old pieces I now want to paint in a white. They are a dark wood? Do you need a primer and if so what should I use? Thank you for any assistance. »
A wardrobe. No need for the lion and the witch, but a wardrobe is a great piece of furniture, especially is your closet is running tight on space for hanging clothes.
Besides the bed, the wardrobe would undoubtedly be the largest piece of furniture in a Victorian bedroom. The most popular versions had a mirror in the center cupboard and double-width storage on either side. Traditionally, wardrobes were made of dark varnished wood — a rather large and somber feature for today's tastes. But, you can often pick one up cheaply and achieve great effects by stripping and painting it.
