I turned a 20 year old, stained timber wardrobe into a pretty, feminine one with a fresh coat of paint, some pressed tin and crystal door knobs.

Steps
Step 1
1/4Remove the drawers and doors and give everything a light sand. Cut timber trim with a mitre saw to fit just inside the perimeter of each drawer front. Attach with wood glue.
Step 2
2/4Cut pressed tin to fit inside the door frames. Try to be as accurate as you can but it doesn't have to be perfect. Do not attach at this stage.
Apply two coats of undercoat to everything including the tin and then two coats of white satin paint to everything except for the tin. Paint two coats of the dark pink to the tin. Once dry, adhere to the doors with liquid nails.
Step 3
