Remember the armoire as TV cabinet era?  Not so long ago and over the years of my interior design practice I find them still placed in various rooms without a television. Many of these cabinets represent an investment into quality furniture. Other clients who enjoy antiques treasure a wardrobe for the storage available. 

A consistent trend today is value and using or re-purposing furniture in our homes. I was thinking about this when I saw these images of armoires and wardrobes functioning as wine or wet bars in living rooms.

 

“What you see here is a 100-year-old wooden Tuscan wardrobe that’s undergone an elegant refitting. Its interior surfaces have been covered with decorative wallpaper, for example.” says Rita St. Claire.

I hope my readers will consider how they can repurpose similar pieces of furniture.  Many years ago I had such an armoire.  I hope someone considers a retrofit.
