Adventures in Decorating, Thrifting, Cooking & Gardening
Here it is all finished! It really fits in the room better now, so I’m glad I went ahead & tackled it. I loved the old version, but it was time for a change. Thanks for taking a peek & I hope you like it too!
This is the striped fabric from my bedding & I used a dotted blue & brown ribbon to trim it out. I’m really happy with it now!

Thanks for stopping by! I'm Rhoda, from Atlanta, GA and I love decorating and DIY projects. Decorating a home doesn't have to cost a fortune and I've spent years thrifting at antiques markets and yardsales, finding those treasures that make a home unique. I'm here to inspire and encourage other women to find their own inner creativity. Won't you join me? Read more....

Rhoda- It looks great! I know you must be thrilled with it. Sorry about the spill! I am jenjen1220 from GI but I don’t post too much anymore. I find that I get a lot out of the blogs and don’t think to check the boards as much. Jen
wow that is a transformation ! Looks like a new piece! Great job.
Oooooh ~ LOVE this version Rhoda! Yes, this is perfect for your room ~ adore the addition of the fabric too! I knew you would create something wonderful!!!!! If there were emoticons here, I’d give you “2 thumbs up”

I love it – it is perfect for your bedroom!
I took the “tour” of your home and I was wondering if you did all the decorating yourself. Your home is gorgeous!
Rhoda! This is a fantastic make-over! well done, I love it!
Hey Rhoda-it’s me ChristTNT from GI. I just saw you posted on a blog that I read and wanted to say hi. I’m excited that I found you! You always have such great creative things to share. How are you liking Birmingham? Can’t wait to browse your blog and see what you’ve been up to. Take care!
OMG….Rhoda! I luv it, luv it, luv it! Sweetie, you did it again. Like I’ve said before, you’re so talented. It really fits your room. Thank you for sharing.

I love what you did with the cabinet. Change is good and so refreshing. I just did a major change in my living room.

Hi Rhoda, the cabinet is beautiful the fabric is a perfect touch. Have enjoyed visiting your blog today. Kelleigh
It was good hearing from you! I love the new look of your armoire. The color is really pretty.
Just gorgeous! You are so talented. LOVE IT!
I love the idea of re-purposing an old armoire. My question is this: I have some large, heavy items that don’t have any suitable storage place in my typical townhouse kitchen cabinets. I’d like to get an old armoire for them, but the kinds I’ve seen at thrifty places all have such lightweight shelving which I’m afraid wouldn’t hold up to the heavy duty job they would be pulling. Any ideas on *strong* armoire resources. Hint: I don’t want to pay more than $75 for the furniture
