Day 147 of 365 Days of Boulderado Photos ~ Armoire

For some reason, this armoire on the third floor of the Historic Section of the Hotel Boulderado always reminds me of the wardrobe entrance to Narnia in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

Day 107 of 365 Days of Boulderado Photos ~ Armoire in 405

This armoire currently resides in Suite 405. Armoires were very common in the Victorian era. Bedrooms didn't have built-in closets, but any room could be converted into a bedroom by adding an armoire. Large and roomy attics were the "walk-in closet" of the era and were used to store a variety of items. Armoires came in different sizes, with or without mirrors, and were most often made from oak, walnut, or mahogany.
