Why I Love Armoires
For years, built-ins have been the “gold normal” that individuals are searching for in a house.

In our dwelling, we use armoires and wardrobes for a number of various things. We purchased one from Wayfair that was lower than $500 so as to add storage to the playroom for video games. We simply stained it to make it extra the fashion we needed.
I scouted out a extra dear vintage one which holds court docket over the laundry room. It was a linen press in its former life, but it surely has added a lot richness and character to the laundry room. We maintain all of our sheets divided by cabinets — king, queen, twin — with further blankets within the drawers.
