Thanks friend!
My Repurposed Life has a lot of new fans, so I like to give them a sample of some of the items they may have missed.

Elgie,

You’re so blessed to have gotten such a useful piece of furniture for your needs. If you would like to add temporary shelves without damaging the original furniture, you should check out my no-drill closet shelf tutorial. https://www.myrepurposedlife.com/no-drill-closet-shelves-renters-campers/

Good luck and have fun organizing your jewelry and jewelry boxes.

I am so excited to have come across this article today because a friend just gifted me with a near-identical wardrobe which she had bought when her daughter was a newborn. Her daughter has now grown, gone to college and gotten married, so mom is downsizing and knew I was looking for something in which to store all my jewelry and jewelry boxes. She thought this was the perfect piece. I agreed and now it is here waiting for me to decide how to style it. Thanks so much for the ideas. I just have to decide whether I want to leave the hanger in place to hang necklaces or add shelves for more storage as you mentioned – great idea. I just hope mine will turn out as lovely as yours! Thanks for the inspiration!

In reply to b. Thank you! I'm happy you like what I did with the decoupage on the drawer pull/knobs. I was so pleased that the flowers fit so perfectly. gail

The wardrobe is so cute now! The pulls decoupaged with tissue paper turned out amazing.

thanks friend! I do teach carpentry/furniture repairs and more, right here on My Repurposed Life. I’m a retired teacher, so teaching comes naturally to me. 🙂

Fran,

I hear you, I’m not a fan of pink, but this is definitely my favorite shade of pink. I recently painted a desk the same color and used rub-on transfers. You can see it here: https://www.myrepurposedlife.com/art-deco-vanity-sweet-new-desk/
