This is the only way to attach anything without it going through to the other side. You need this extra thickness of wood for the braces to be stable anyway. Don't attach anything to the sides of the piece, only the frames. Hope that helps.Recaptured Charmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10591703154384503632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504467275311897269.post-21323018867471888222015-10-15T10:53:32.700-04:002015-10-15T10:53:32.700-04:00I just got a very old armoire from a friend that I...I just got a very old armoire from a friend that I am going to attempt to fix up.

Just a quick question for a step that I didn't see covered (or did I miss it?)....<br />When do you sand off some of the paint to scuff/create the distressed look? is it before or after the hemp oil finish? Also do you simply use a fine sandpaper to distress it? do you have any tips for doing that step?<br />Thanks in advance!<br />Lara<br />lara1973@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504467275311897269.post-70100237328757535392013-09-12T15:31:38.182-04:002013-09-12T15:31:38.182-04:00Thank you so much for your lovely comments and you...Thank you so much for your lovely comments and your tip on Van Gogh paint. I have to say I have never pursued the Chalk Paint craze because of the price, but I will contact Van Gogh and give it a try, I'm sure even lower shipping costs will make a difference. P.S.

I have been a fan of Homestead Milk paint since the early 90s and have recently be using the wonderful Annie Sloan chalk paint. Yes, it is expensive but if time is of the essence, it's worth it b/c there's no priming, or sanding necessary. But it has it's drawbacks too. So I think the more options of products that are non-toxic and user-friendly we can put in our homes, the better for all. BTW, I just discovered Van Gogh - a Canadian-made chalk paint which I purchased (same price as ASCP) but have yet to try. Apparently their beeswax is a wonderful product. Keep up the good work; I check in with you often and have been inspired by all your "stuff". Oh, and I think that there are cedar shavings in that little bag.grannieannie44https://www.blogger.com/profile/00460322188930681271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504467275311897269.post-49839891594395034492012-12-04T06:58:18.924-05:002012-12-04T06:58:18.924-05:00Great idea!

You hang up a bag of water on the porch or next to the garage to keep flies away. When light reflects on the water flies don't like it because of the way their eyes are. However, I have no idea why they would hang it in an armoire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504467275311897269.post-30314531345217749492012-08-15T17:12:25.066-04:002012-08-15T17:12:25.066-04:00It's perfect!
