functional and ~colorful~ armoire to workstation thrift flip *folk art inspired*

[@audreyschmitt200]

I agree, the front cabinet art is so cute but I think it needs some highlights and lowlights to give it some dimension and make the flower petals really pop! Great job on the cabinet and I'm so excited to see more diys in the workshop

[@khantuta]

Beautiful transformation! The wall paper is so elegant; better keep it on the doors only to make it even more special. Suggestion: paint the contours of your design with a slightly darker version to make it pop. Bravo for yet another inspired piece, Tina!

[@LaineyBug2020]

I was going to suggest the contours as well, so I'll just second your comment!

[@3Oh3metrostation]

ageed!

[@AutumnLucas75]

Reminds me of what diy Danie just did. The wallpaper is pretty. I'd add more detail to the flowers. Nice repurposing -

[@vilkenstrutzutzutz]

Also Ariel Bissett!

[@sharonknorr1106]

This is so special. I would not wallpaper the back of the inside - let the doors shine, it is just the right amount of pop for the inside of the cabinet. Also like a previous idea of contouring the flowers on the front. Was happy you chose the vintage pulls - perfect. You are one talented lady.

[@xingcat]

It's interesting that you got a piece that looks like it's from the late 80s/early 90s, and then used that color combo, because I worked in a couple of galleries that sold custom furniture in the late 80s/early 90s, and that combination of burgundy/goldish brown with ornate details was very popular with the artists who sold furniture in those galleries. What a great job bringing new life to a furniture piece that could have easily been left behind.

[@JennieKennedy]

“Ohmygod, I have to repaint that” made me laugh in relatable 😂❤

[@OrganizeCreateDecorate]

It's perfect the way it is. You did a great job. No more wallpaper is needed.

[@3Oh3metrostation]

Personally I wouldn't add anymore wallpaper. If anything maybe another shade of pink for the outside flowers to give it dimension. the color came out great and the inside is so sophisticated. definitely livens up the space.

[@craftywabbit9547]

It looks great, glad you went with the vintage style door knobs. I think the wallpaper only on the doors works well. A good sized project, tfs 🪷

[@TheInternationalWitch]

I love seeing people gravitate towards Scandinavian folk art designs. I remember seeing so much of it as a kid and it always gives off a warm handmade vibe.

[@robynsnest22]

That looks so beautiful Tina! I wouldn't use it for storing paints and stuff though, keep it as a creative station. I think by only doing the doors with the wall paper it elevates it to give it its moment so I would not wrap the wallpaper on the sides. The only suggestion regarding the painting you did on the outside cabinet doors is that the lotus flowers need some outlining of the petals. A touch of gold would look amazing!

[@donnabacon4681]

I was, too, thinking of outlining the flowers, it kit in gold. That!! Is an excellent idea! Would really add some glam!

[@Amelia_Rose_333]

Yes! I love this! Without an outline it looks unfinished. Gold would be the perfect thing to make it pop!

[@sandieedward993]

I actually loved the golden flowers as it gave some pazas but then again the knobs you've chosen look very old school Asian inspired and re also groovy but the golden flowers give it a youthful appeal now as for You're doors lotus flowers U also think it's needed some black edging on those flowers to give it more contrasting appeal

[@emilyboulter5978]

I love this piece. I think the red inside the cabinet looks great with the wallpaper just on the doors.

[@l.e.bingham6643]

Hello I am glad to see your Mom and Dad came to visit that’s so wonderful. GoD BLESS and much LOVE. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💖🥰💯💫

[@lindaroyal8161]

Nice piece of furniture, good upcycle, great purpose/function. Nicely done!

[@suziejames7510]

Looks lovely on the inside, but the painting on the outside needs a touch of black somewhere to make it pop. Just my opinion.❤

[@vishnupriyaananth6090]

Outside is sort of Indian art called pichwai. I agree to the above suggestion. Inside is more of a vibe. But outside painting seems incomplete. May be stenciling is a good idea. I preferred the multicolour busy muted design. But love all your works very much ❤❤❤❤❤

[@caitlynmorris195]

I kind of wish the shelves were black.

[@Misskittenfish71]

Or some dark navy blue 💙

[@tanyahermann3431]

I was thinking a finer outline on the flowers, etc of the painting.

[@Just-YOLANDA-T.C]

Thank you. Was just about to post that. It looks flat.

[@dawnliphard9591]

I really like the painted inside, it makes the inside panel a moment, and the paint brings out the wood detail on the back wall. I love this whole project.

[@LisaLiebich]

This is so pretty! Really loving the color combo!!

[@RemiSleeps.]

This cabinet feels like an extension of your DIY room, which I love. Having the two major DIY spaces share an element or two really adds to the charm and personality of your home!!! SO CUTE!

[@dmmomma]

You chose the right knobs, imo. Once you've walked into the garage more and get that first glimpse of the cabinet, think about adding a little bit of shadow to the flowers and leaves.. Again, just a thought. I think the shelves could be used for more storage as well. Take advantage of the space you created. Even if just more baskets. You did great work. Be very proud of yourself.

[@brendabignall9926]

Hi Tina! 🙋🏻‍♀️✨🇺🇲🌬️🌧️ Love your beautiful new office space in the garage!!! I love reds, especially darker tones. Love the Narnia moment! 🏮🌲 I like how your 2 office spaces are connected with the red. I'm glad you ran out of wallpaper. Using the red on the sides keeps it more serene. ❤️❣️ I think the pink flowers tie in with the pinks in your shower curtain art piece. 🪷🖼️ Congratulations on choosing to slow down and enjoy your creativity and the process of creating!!! Good self-care choice! ❤️💖✨ Love, Hugs & Sparkles! ❤️🫂✨

[@ellenl5626]

I've always heard that a touch of animal print elevates any room and now can add red to that list. Love how you redid this armoire!

[@RandomAs77]

Looks cute. Love the wallpaper. Also never used it. I loved the blossom flower knobs, but either suited the project. I feel like the lotus flowers need outlining, maybe white or maybe with that burgundy colour you love (or a similar shade in that colour family,y of pink), as this will give them definition and really make them pop.

[@ianmini757]

Looks so good! Recommend outling the designs on the outside with a gold pen!

[@GoodGriefCB]

Love the cabinet! I really like the wallpaper! I have used peel and stick on the back splash. It is a bright spot in my kitchen!

[@Jenna1814]

LOL my high school colors were burgundy and baby blue. Beautiful piece.

[@donnabacon4681]

Beautiful! Other than possibly outlining the lotus flowers (one commentor suggested gold - that would be perfect!!) it is fabulous!! Have you considered sending pictures to the previous owner, or perhaps you gave him the name of your channel so he - and his family - can see how you upgraded the armoire? And perhaps, too, gain another subscriber!!! Have a blessed day and a fantastic week!! xxoo

[@daniellavaldez6361]

I love seeing you in your Ikigai! They say we need to do more things that we can spend hours, getting lost in - and i see that with your painting! I’d love to see more Narnia-inspired pieces! So fun and imaginative!

[@lee-anneliebenberg9814]

I looooove your videos Tina. Hi from South-Africa

[@JennieKennedy]

I am so inspired!! I just got a French provincial armoire/dresser for my baby girl that I am SO excited to work on. This whole folksy floral project has been on my bucket list for a hot minute!! Your choice in color is so rich, and I love that contrast of wine/light blue. Maybe this isn’t your design style, but I looove the idea of a slight distressed look on the outer panels! It would add that continuity from the outside to in that I feel it’s lacking, since I personally think there is too much contrast between the colors *When it’s half open! Your videos, style and career are so inspiring. I’m so excited to get to where you are!! Thank you for sharing ❤ Oh, and I agree with everyone else about adding depth to those flowers! 😘

[@sumaraahmad5567]

😍😍😍 such an interesting idea and i love the final look

[@janice5108]

It's too beautiful for the garage

[@AnnemarieHulsman]

Oww... wonderful! this video ooozes with delight, staying true to what comes from the inside gives such joy, I can feel it

[@edenstar196]

So beautiful! I found this very inspiring ❤

[@carolinaazevedo2088]

It turned out amazing!

[@wandarivera4016]

Tina it looks beautiful just the way you have it now love it thankyou for sharing ❤😊

[@Patti-1962]

Many years ago, my husband worked from home. Since we didn’t have a dedicated office space, he worked out of our bedroom. We purchased a beautiful office wardrobe from Ethan Allen. It has two different levels of pull out desks, so your computer can be on one, and you can write or work on the other, and tons of storage. It also has a plug strip inside!! It is now my craft/sewing wardrobe. Or, anything I need to store for a while and don’t want it to clutter our home, like gifts. And all I have to do is close the door, and all is right with the world!! Someday I need to get creative and spruce it up!!

[@lovingmayberry307]

[@cataclopintheskywithdiamon8032]

Brilliant idea and the result is great ! i definitely understand what you were reaching for. Love this little landscaping painting in the inside such a great idea, like a tiny window to look at the horizon for creativity ! 💜

[@magnoliidae5794]

this is SOOO inspiring and i want to paint some furniture like ASAP 😍😍😍😍

[@debbiegordon7622]

[@terrytt2932]

Laughed at your opening...I'm a southern Cal native (old school, HATE CALI nickname) and we don't have winter! some rain lately but definitely NOT winter! KNOBS...USE BOTH!! What a fun office to go to!

[@juliebey8240]

Once again you killed it 😊love the mahogany, love the wallpaper, inside wood is perfect. And I love the choice of knobs😊. And can I just say, loved Brian’s haircut 👏👍. Great job Tina🥰👏

[@leslieschmitt7749]

I love this color combo!! Just gorgeous!!

[@dorothytackett9943]

Great idea to use the baskets to hold supplies so it does not give a messy look to your project. Thought you might use more of it for storing your supplies. Maybe after you use it awhile just for looks you will use it to store some items. It looks beautiful. Wonderful job!!!

[@RebeccaVinyard-h1c]

What a beautiful way to up style a second hand piece! Love it 😍

[@looksleft]

Oh Tina you got a mic 😭 Idk if it was because of my comment but either way i so appreciate it, it really makes a difference!! Funnily enough, today I visited KZbin and I had a migraine and needed something soothing. I lciked on this video cos I knew you'd be a soothing presence, and then you came in with the mic and it made it so much easier to listen to with my awful headache etc! Augh, you're the best

[@TheGenflute]

We always store the brushes wrapped and in the fridge!! We've been painting our house when the weather allows. Saves so much paint!

[@hotflippinmess9178]

Adorable!!!

[@TheBeautifulTruthh]

brian’s hair looks great!

[@MsCanadianpie]

Love this DIY. I would keep the back as is. I love that the wallpaper is only on the back of the doors.

[@deartinale]

Absolutely beautiful ❤

[@elinakatarii]

Well it’s definitely recognisable as a Tina DIY 😍 How incredibly cute is this! 😍 I’m really liking the wood panel but it might look good wallpapered as well! Definitely the right choice of knob for this piece but I’m drooling over the other one to use in another project 🙈🥹 Beautifully done yet again, Tina ❤

Beautiful!

[@moanabrown9194]

Looks great. Just a suggestion, have you thought about adding shading to the flowers, stems and d moon? ❤️

[@Morganjenkins0422]

Omg, that wallpaper is gorgeous!!!

[@LucyRand]

It's a good thing to show that we don't always finish what we start.

[@dranthtalks]

Love this. I want something like this in my room!

[@She.Follows.The.Sun.]

The painting ideas really cool and pretty, I especially love the wallpaper on the inside of the doors. I don't think you should add any on the inside panels though because it actually will look way too busy next to all the things that you add in there. I do feel like you're painting on the door though should have some more depth on it. Maybe some more shades but it's still very pretty nonetheless

[@catherinecarreiro3955]

Love the wallpaper and it’s a wonderful touch and calming. No wallpaper inside I love the contrast of wood and paint. It such a great piece

[@veronicam.hernandez5351]

I love it!

[@marycoffee7366]

l'armadio è strepitoso, mai avrei pensato saresti riuscita a trasformarlo in modo così radicale. Complimenti. io personalmente aggiungerei qualche piccola sfumatura ai fiori per dare un minimo di profondità, ma questa è la mia visione personale ❤

[@pananndays5180]

Beautiful, no more wall paper needed, like the knob choice

[@migrabar79]

Great idea! I love everything... but the wallpaper! lol! I think it clashes with the rest of the colors you use. Nevertheless, it's so much nicer than it was originally.

[@dorrolorro]

the end card of the video still says tinadoodles, so you should update that as well!

[@LindavanderVeen]

The painting looks a bit unfinished to me, especially the bigger flowers look like blobs, because you can't see the difference in flowerpetals. Maybe add some shading or outlines to all leaves and petals. Will create more depth. The inside I love!

[@lz738]

I don't think you need to wallpaper the inside - it looks great the way it is. But on the lotus painting; maybe it needs more definition? Maybe it's only the camera view, but the petals seem undefined and the pink just looks like a shape.

[@sherrymeurer]

Another stunning piece💕 Do you have a Pinterest link by chance?

[@ayyjayyee1]

Your husbands hair looks great like that.

I would say thank you for my food if it is free and made to eat 😊.

[@IrmaDiaz-h1l]

The inside should of painted in the color used on the inside doors to finish up the looks of it otherwise the art done on the otherwise looks awesome. Waiting to see how it looks when the idea comes to be done inside where you didn't complete due to insufficient wall paper. 👌🏻 thanks for sharing your video.
