We came across an old 1930’s children’s wardrobe. It needed HELP! The bottom board wasn’t salvageable. The doors were really difficult to open and shut AND the most awful part…it had veneer “accents”. THEY. WERE. AWFUL. Seriously, I had no feelings for veneer before this, one way or another.

On one of our regular antique mall adventures we found this beauty! What is it, you ask? Its a 1930’s antique wardrobe for children. DUH! It has 2 areas for hanging and only enough room for about 10 hangers on each side. This beautiful wardrobe had awful veneer accents. So I turned to google, the experts and learned how to take veneer off. We have sanded, cleaned up the hardware, removed the veneer and decided…wait a second, this would make a fantastic bar! So stay tuned for the after pictures once we are done with some reconstruction,…
