My daughter needed a piece to go in a certain corner of her apartment, and of course always needs extra storage. I had this Armoire that I paid less than $50 for and knew it had great potential. Of course I did this before I was introduced to the world of blogging so I don't have in-transformation pictures, but I can assure you they would not be very pretty! I can tell you the steps I took, though. Kilz -(my best friend), then I painted it with Ralph Lauren Regent Metallic paint. I left the door panels unpainted. Busted up a mirror and a few fingers and glued them on with E6000 ( oh, no.... that might be my best friend). Found various glitzy pieces of old broken jewelry, etc. and glued them on. I loved the pearl outline - it needed something to outline it. There are times when I know God inspired the idea, and the pearl outline was certainly one of those. Then the hard part. I bought resin on-line.... It is NO fun to work with, but I knew I needed to seal all of this off, especially with the broken mirrors. And Voile! I will post a pic later of how it looks in her apartment. Beautiful.
