We spotted this beauty in the November issue of Living Etc Uk and thought some of you creative DIY types might enjoy it. This armoire is from the British design firm, Burke and Hazel, who make top notch pieces at elusive prices. This one is about $12,000. But we’ve had some success painting vintage pieces of furniture, and bet you have, too. If grandma’s armoire that you inherited is need of a 21st-Century kick, considering giving it a similar treatment of black splashes on white. If you’re really eager, check eBay for similar pieces. We found this one for $1600. Got a clever designer-DIY idea? Please let us know!
