ONE OF MY favourite pieces of furniture is an armoire. It works in any room, can be configured to store a multitude of things and with the doors closed, you'd never know what's hiding inside. I've got one in our living room for the tv, dvd player, board games and Wii; an antique one in our bedroom to hold excess bedding; and a chippy paint, vintage one in the guest room to hold books. They all hold a ton of stuff while keeping the space clutter-free - but if you organize the contents and make it pretty, it will make you smile everytime you open those doors.
Here are some armoires being put to work:
for linens...
for kitchen ware...
as a pantry...
as a sewing room...
for shoes and handbags...
for magazines and knick knacks...
for kids' toys and clothes...
for clothes or bath items...

Do you have armoires in your home?
