There is an old wardrobe in there, which I thought was pretty awful. It's so dark and dominated the whole room.
I was fully prepared to get rid of it and replace it with the clothes rack from my current bedroom, but then thought ... why not paint it? I don't mind the shape, it's only that it looks shabby and dark and perhaps that can be fixed with a bit of work?
These are the old handles - plastic I'm afraid. I'll hang onto them for now, but I suspect they're going to have to go. I can only handle so much vintage!
So here it is again, primed and ready to paint.
It's true that I'm painting it in situ - the main reason being that it weighs a tonne and would take some serious effort to move. And I can't really think of a good reason to do that seeing as it's going to come right back to the same place.
The question is now ... what colour? I was going to go with white to keep the room nice and light. But perhaps an accent colour down the center? I saw this pic on the Ikea website and I've surprised myself by really liking that green.
Hmm. I definitely need to think about it some more before committing. :)
