My decorating partnership, The Redecorators LLC, began business with the premise that we would use what you have to give you a new look--often in one day. Immediately (as in, with our first client) that segued into full interior decorating services. We've since ripped out kitchens, walls and floors; designed custom furniture and drapery; and turned completely empty spaces into beautiful and comfortable rooms to live in. Still, Gina and I always look at how we can use existing furniture, art and accessories in new ways. For example: turn a bedroom armoire into a living room bar, as we did for a charity event at the Grange Showroom in Philadelphia's Marketplace Design Center. (For more details, plus Before & Afters of that project visit Dust & Chandeliers.) It's true: we're always looking for a place to corral cocktails!

Funny how I didn't notice that until I enlarged the pic for this post! Source URL: http://thesoap-box.blogspot.com/2010/11/re-use-armoire-to-bar.html
