It’s amazing it redesign to a new and artistic design that no one can detect it from it’s original form.
It’s really nice to see that thing ..
Thanks

That’s the damnest makeover I’ve ever seen.

Simply extraordinary.

Just looking at the piece, I would have guessed that the only thing that could be done with it was to either turn in into a planter or a coffin. Water fountain would have never occurred to me.

It’s a stroke of genius!

WOW! WOW! WOW!

All I can say is: SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!

How in the world. . .

Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

And even if the story didn’t include the transformation, I’d still say WOW to that awesome fountain.

Bravo!

Hmmm… I am quite impressed by her imagination, and the fact that she was able to use the materials to make something she really wanted and loves. It was a nice piece before too, though. All in all, pretty darn impressive resourcefulness!

Thanks Sherry for the flattering post.

To those who admired the old armoire – thanks, we liked it, too. (My husband made it.)But it did not fit in our new apartment and, sadly, we could not even give it away. Next time we will find one of you.

Go for it! Since there are gray speckles in the counters it should help the white sink and the black appliances relate to each other. And by bringing in more white accessories (a ceramic fruit bowl on the counter, a white dishtowel hanging over the oven handle, etc) it’ll further tie things together for a seamless look. Hope it helps!

Random design question– we have black appliances that I totally regret (wish we would have gone white or stainless steel). We want to replace our cheapo builder grade kitchen sink. I want a white sink but I’m wondering if you think it would look funny with black appliances? Our countertops are speckled grey/khaki colors with light oak cabinets.

Great job on the conversion! Incredibly eco-friendly and creative — That’s for sure! I must say I’m with Janelle, though … It is really too bad she had to destroy the armoire. To each their own, I suppose, but I, for one, would’ve happily taken that gorgeous piece off her hands!

Wow, what a transformation! I know I wouldn’t have looked at that armoire and seen a fountain lurking underneath!
