White Girly Wardrobe

Hello All,

I wonder if any of you can help. We have recently bought a new bed for my daughter and we are looking to get a similar wardrobe as cheaply as possible. Hopefully we can see the old furniture to go toward the cost of the new.

The problem is that I'm reluctant to replace the old stuff unless we find something we really like!

I would like it to match the bed as closely as possible, but for some reason they do not make any matching items.

The bed is this one - http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6659651/Trail/searchtext%3EASHLEY+BED.htm

We've considered various white panelled wardrobes. Although they're nice, I would prefer it to be closer to the bed and a bit more girly! I wonder if anyone has seen anything better, or have any ideas of how to do up / accessorise a plain white wardrobe to look the part.

Thanks

    cut a template in card to match the headboard/footboard,cut it out in MDF then paint it white and add as a surround to the current wardrobe?

    Tesco Direct do a huge range of white furniture and B&Q do heart handles that you could replace the existing handles with. OK so not a match but would blend. Remember Quidco.
