Your upcycled wardrobe and drawers look terrific. Love your choice of wallpaper. Do you have any "Before" photos of your dated wardrobe and drawers so we can get an idea of the transformation?

Hello @mylucylove1 

Thanks for sharing your upcycled wardrobe cabinet with drawers. It's a fantastic transformation and the wallpaper really gives it such a wonderful personality. The white paint has really modernized the look and feel of this cabinet. The bright colour you've chosen has really made it stand out. Would it be possible for you to post a photo of the inside of the cabinet as well?

Again, thank you for sharing such an awesome project.

Eric
