It weighs about a gazillion pounds and it's bigger than our entire house, but it served as much needed extra storage in the room that has a closet the size of a tic tac box. I can't complain about the armoire because it's been a chivalrous beast holding all 80 pairs of my shoes and 40 coats at the same time, but there comes a time when a girl just needs change. Unfortunately, for me it's about every two and a half weeks.
I've been researching solutions to our lack of storage/small bedroom space, and I think the best thing for us would be to build a fauxdenza (term coined by the brilliant Anna @ Door Sixteen). I want something that leaves the room feeling open, but also has room to store things. Double points if we can display stuff on the top of it. Triple points if it can function as a table top for projects. In our tiny house, we're all about things that have double function, like our laundry table that's also a dog crate.
Even the people at IKEA were like, "uhhhh, Fauxdenza...what?!? Did you just make that up? Why would you do that when we have dressers that come with directions that you can just piece together?"
Luckily, I have the internet and trusted bloggers that are smarter than Ikea employees.

Everything Matt touches turns into a crafted work of art. I don't think his intentions were to build a "fauxdenza" when he was creating floating kitchen cabinets, but it's the same idea and a beautiful example.
