    Default Upcycle old linen cupboard

    This was done to prove that old furniture that may seem ugly today can be nice again and have a new life. I took this away to help clear someone's shed for more interesting things. I offered it to someone for garage storage but the brown covering (see first photo) made it too ugly. I have basically sanded and applied a wipe on poly. I would really like to understand when it was probably made and if the wood is pine.
    The 2nd photo is the doors.
    3rd photo is the top
    Remaining photo's are the sides with a close up of some of the grain patterns that always interest me.

    I hope to modify inside to have some basic shelves to hold some storage baskets and then let someone give it a new life instead of buying MDF or chipboard glue stuff

    The Veneer in the doors look nice ! Its just one of those light weight wardrobes isn't it ?

    A picture of the whole thing from the front would be better . Just all those parts like that doesn't show what it is .

    You are right a visitor was telling me it was a linen cupboard board looking at the missing inside parts I can see it was really a cupboard. Thanks for making me look closer. Cheers,
