Some time ago, I saw a wonderful blue-ish Asian/Indian/Moroccan wardrobe
featured on Horchow--for over a thousand dollars!...it looked
crumbling, primitive, extremely lovely and textural. Not having a
thousand dollars I painted one up 'faux-style' with swirls and flowers
and couldn't part with it, despite the fact that it didn't quite look
'old enough'. I stashed it upstairs for future use.
I got the urge to create another one in a similar fashion, though I used
silver paint rather than gold--it crackled beautifully and I am very
pleased. The knobs are silvery glass, but burnished-looking, sort of
like an old mirror that has tarnished over time. And now it is GONE--sold on Craig's List!
