Lots of cryin' over this one! Its sheer size was daunting, but I knew it had promise and lots of potential. Trying to keep my eye on the prize, I forged on only to hit "the Glitch"...damaged veneer on the outside and inside! (And did I also mention how big it was???.) I removed the damaged veneer (and had considerable luck doing so) on the outside. I was able to sand and paint over the area in Linen Milk Paint . The removal of the veneer on the inside, however, didn't go so well. With a splintered and uneven finish, I opted to line the entire interor in fabric. The beautiful, creamy linen finish with a dark glaze combined with the fabric-lined interior gave new life to this wardrobe! The entire piece was top coated to perserve the perfection.
