Painted Armoire
My biggest purchase of the last year was a painted armoire from an online auction. Living in a New York City one-bedroom apartment, storage space is slim. The armoire has always been one of my favorite types of furniture, both functional and beautiful. My German mother-in-law has some gorgeous painted cabinets from her youth in Bavaria that I have drooled over; so when I saw this painted Peruvian armoire come up for sale, I decided it was a great investment. There are many pretty contemporary armoires, but with shipping and assembly, it just wasn't worth it. This piece was really quite affordable and unique:

Tucked in a corner of our bedroom with my wellies in front of it. |

The interior stores paper goods, towels, linens, and my clothes with room to spare. |

One of our cats thinks that the armoire is his and loves the vantage point looking down from up top of it. |
