Take Your Armoire Outdoors

Most people think of an armoire as a purely indoor furniture item. However, it can be fun to break the mold and push the barriers of what is normal. Shock your guests (in a good way) and show off your taste and creativity by taking this piece of indoor furniture outdoors. Certain wooden armoires are able to be taken outdoors, and used as an outdoor storage unit.
Cedar wood is incredibly resilient and can stand outdoor weather. Make sure that you treat your rustic armoire with a finish or paint so that it will remain water-repellent and keep the contents of your armoire dry and safe.
An armoire is a perfect spot to store extra towels by the pool, or your pool accessories. It also can be used to keep your outdoor blankets by your fire pit, or even grill tools and spices.
Even though armoires are typically used to store clothes in bedrooms, you can bend tradition by bringing your cedar wooden armoire outdoors and using it as a storage unit. Just make sure you prepare your armoire for outdoor weather!
