As I grow older, I want more and more for everything to be neatly tucked away, closed off and out of sight. Thus, my growing love for armoires. I love this traditional piece of furniture with its magestic, over-powering presence. But, like many age-old classics the armoire can be turned into something gaudy, loud and downright ugly.
Anthropologie’s Bird Cut Armoire ($1898), however, contains none of the aforementioned properties. It is all beauty and grace, with a whimsical door pattern that is subtle but stunning. Behind the doors are lie four drawers, two shelves, and one hanging rack. Just enough to tie a room together and clean up the clutter, while staying perfectly feminine and, most importantly, timeless.
Love,
Tracey
