Break Down Wardrobe That Just About Broke Me Down

Finished a break down, break away, knockdown wardrobe for Sensational Saturday.  Sensational Saturday is held once a month and features all new items that we find for that months theme.  This wardrobe had a thin veneer that was loose in spots, or missing altogether so out came the paint.  A break down will do just that break down, this one folds down into 7 pieces.  Real early ones came across the prairies in covered wagons.  I think this one is probably from the 1940's, had shelves on one side behind the door that were missing.  Behind the other two doors is where you would hang your clothing.  Had to paint, distress and seal all 7 pieces one by one to be able to get to all the nooks and crannies.  Here she is all painted up with a vintage lace curtain behind her center door.
