Before & After | Blingy Desk & Wardrobe

Meet Laverne, a childcare worker who works near Châtelet in the Weston Rd. and Eglinton area. When she popped into my new Mount Dennis store shortly after it opened, she was excited to learn that Châtelet can take your own furniture pieces and give them new life with paint and new hardware.

Laverne knew right away that she had two pieces at home that could benefit from the Chatelet treatment, a desk and a small wardrobe cabinet that she purchased from an antique shop over 20 years ago. After dutifully serving their purpose in many different rooms and ways over the years, she thought the best use for the furniture now would be in her 11 year old daughter’s room, prettied up with white paint and blingy glass pulls.
