This worn, old wardrobe had seen better days, but Beau wanted to cheer it up for her daughter’s bedroom. So she add some fun colors, painted on a perky pattern and completely transformed this old piece into a fun addition!

From Beau:

This little wardrobe was well beaten up and really sad looking, not solid wood in parts so it needed a paint job. I didn’t really have a clear plan for it but fancied something a little quirky as it was destined for my 3-year-old daughter’s new room which was fairly bland and needing some character!

I mixed a soft peach with Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paints, added dots of various sizes and used the shade ‘Provence’ inside to really jump as you opened the doors.

Thank you Beau! See more photos of this transformation on her blog.
