I have a cheap, old Ikea computer armoire. We bought it at our last house to have in the breakfast room so we had a place for our desktop computer. Pictures soon, but it looks more or less like this in white, and not a corner piece.
The old, small house is gone. The old, outdated desktop computer is gone. No need for the computer armoire anymore. I need to find a new purpose for it or Craigslist it. Today it sits in the downstairs playroom holding toys. Not a bad spot for it. Here are some options for the old armoire:
1) Hold toys in playroom or game room
2) Hold craft / art supplies in playroom or gameroom
3) Act as a computer area in office
4) Become a bar in the kitchen
All are good options, I am just not sure where it is needed yet. Here are the problems with each option.
1) No problem there.
2) No problem there.
4) I would rather have a big open desk. Not one where I stare at the wall. I am finally out of a cubicle I do not want to go back to feeling like I am in one.
4) Not sure I have room in the kitchen. There is a wall for a console or bar, but I like it empty. After selling our last house I have a appreciation for not overcrowding things. However, we entertain a lot and it would be really nice to have a bar where people can go and get their drinks without having to go into the kitchen.
One idea is from North Fork Staged To Sell I like how they changed the old armoire into a bar. I could paint the old white armoire a fun color, and put it in the kitchen as a bar. I am still consdiering this option. As soon as I get the dog crate out of the kitchen (thanks hubby) I will have room.
