French County Wardrobe

This is probably one of my favorite pieces I have built. Challenging but fun. I built it as two separate sections, an upper and lower cabinet to make it easier to carry indoors. I added a full-extension drawer below for storage. The two-toned paint combination did take a lot of extra time. Because I used an airless spraying to paint I had to tape and cover each section separately.

Built from Plan(s)

Simplest Armoire

Estimated Cost

$300.00

Estimated Time Investment

Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)

Finish Used

Venus teal and creme brulee by Behr. Dark walnut stain for the top.

GREAT job !!!

WOW it looks awesome the extra time spent on the painting was more than worth it looks spectacular. I bet you also could make a great profit selling this Wardrobe either on line or in a consignment shop, if I had the need for one and the money I would defiantly buy one!!

I love all the attention to detail. Great job! I especially love the color selection. How did you achieve the look of the top stained piece?

Hi Ashley,

The top was built separate, stained, varnished and then attached to the painted wardrobe. :)

Any plans or sketches?

It looks really great!

I have fallen in love with it the second I saw it and somehow I am now convinced that I need a new wardrobe ;)

I guess you don't have plans for the wardrobe laying around - but would you mind doing a fast sketch (just a simple one on paper) with all the measurements noted? I would be thrilled to try building it myself in the summer.

Greetings from Germany!
