Handpainted vintage table furniture

I had a customer who found a piece in Neiman Marcus with a similar green finish with gold accents. She asked me to re-create it on a dresser. I love this look and how it came out. I am now doing it all the time. This table is currently available in the store but please check the website to see if we still have it http://www.handpaintedbycookie.com/

Great, tall, strong antique 2 level table. Painted this a ralph lauren beige and added subtle leaves. Matte finish which seemed appropriate for this old piece. This sold at our last show and is not available but please check the website for what we do have. http://www.handpaintedbycookie.com

Hand painted vintage french provincial bedroom

Great Story. A couple from Pennsylvania had this great set in storage. Knew it was good quality and did not like the quality of any of the new furniture in stores. They had me paint this set pink and white and created a beautiful "princess" room for their daughter. This is not available in the store. This was a custom job. Please check our website for what we currently have available in the store.

Handpainted Antique Mahogany Buffet

We purchased this beautiful, elegant, sideboard/buffet. These are popular right now for use under flat screen tvs. We painted it a Ralph Lauren beige and I just added some subtle artwork. It has been sold but please check our website for other pieces http://www.handpaintedbycookie.com

Hand painted vintage desk

We bought this great old 1930s desk, maple. Still sturdy and full of life. Painted it antique white and put a blue wash on the drawers. Changed out knobs to glass. Paired it with an antique chair with blue and white toille. It looks great. Right now it is still available in the store but check the website to be sure. http://www.handpaintedbycookie.com

Hand painted antique cabinet

We found this beautiful antique cabinet for sale and loved it!! It needed a few minor repairs. We painted it a very creamy beige and I then added a little stain. I could not bring myself to put artwork on it because it had so many carvings that it did not need any further decoration. This piece has sold already but we have other pieces for sale in our store. Please check our website to see what is available. http://www.handpaintedbycookie.com/

Our Process

We do not like to have alot of chemicals around. We like to use non-toxic materials. When we take a piece apart, we try to reuse all the pieces that we can. We do not re-finish. We paint our pieces and we add artwork to give each piece that original feel and quality of a one of a kind item. We do various styles; shabby chic, country, victorian, vintage chic and juvenile. We shop estate sales and auctions looking for truly unique pieces. Each piece is then treated with a 6-step process and then handpainted and transformed into a useful work of art. All pieces are truly one of a kind and we try to stay reasonably priced.
