DIY Wardrobe Makeover
Storage is a big issue in our small home. When I starting thinking about this post and the reason why things change a lot around here, I wanted to research what actually constitutes a "small home". The opinion varies. Some people say 200-400 square feet, while others say anything under 1000 square feet. I love how Tiny House Giant Journey put it: "We believe it's as small as you're willing to go to obtain financial freedom with a small home footprint."
Last year, we gave our daughter's room a makeover. I found an old dresser with a mirror at a yard sale that I stripped and stained for her room. It worked for about a year and then we were having a hard time fitting all her clothes in it. We had to come up with a better solution for her clothes.
Here is the solution.

Just like most of the pieces I rescue, it had some issues.
The "painted-on mirror" on the top door was peeling off.
My daughter is definitely a "mirror girl". The more mirrors the better (I love that about her). Since the right side had a long mirror, I decided to remove the peeling mirror on the left and add a piece of cork wrapped in burlap instead.
I really thought I was going to be looking for a bigger dresser for my daughter's room. This wardrobe was such a better fit. It added more storage, takes up less space and is a color my daughter loves. It is perfect...... for now. :-)
