Using the Term "Fixer" Rather Loosely Today...

Every once in a while I do a total double-take at a Craig's List item. 

A solid cherry armoire for $25?  A-wha???  There must be something wrong with it...

 

Wow, what needs fixing?

 

It's handsome inside and out.

I think it's hard to go wrong with a piece of furniture like this.  It's massive- 7 feet tall and obviously quite heavy. Talk about adding some weight to your decor.  This thing has presence, that's for sure.

So, what needs fixing?  Perhaps we need to work on our perception of furniture like this.  Solid needn't mean stodgy and boring.  You might be surprised by how you can adapt such a large piece to exemplify your personal style.

I'll show you how it can make a big impact... tomorrow!
