White Wardrobe

I can't believe it's time for another White Wednesday already.  This week has flown by!  To share this week....the white wardrobe from our master bedroom:

Several years ago I spotted this terrific white wardrobe cabinet in the July/August 2008 issue of Victoria magazine.  It was from the lovely store 'Whitewash' in Charleston, SC:

After spotting this, I kept my eye out for anything that resembled this lovely piece.  Imagine my surprise when a very similar wardrobe turned up on my local Craigslist in the fall of 2010!  The sweet and talented seller had already painted and distressed it white, so I snapped it up.  I love the details on the piece:


The inside is very similar to the magazine's wardrobe, in that it has shelves on one side and a rod for hanging items on the other side.  I'm using my wardrobe to hold craft books, supplies, fabrics and my sewing machine:

We'll be painting our master bedroom walls soon (I never liked this pale yellow-ish color), so there will be a post of that some day this spring. 
I'm looking forward to seeing all the inspirational white posts over at Faded Charm...see you there!

    Oh, I'd snatch that wardrobe up, too! It's beautiful, Susan. We have teeny closets in our old house. I'm still on the lookout for one. Great find!
