VINTAGE HAND PAINTED ANTIQUE CABINET

This cabinet was quite a project. When we originally purchased it, it was green and a large radio cabinet. We removed the insides and sanded it down to get off the old finish. We then added a shelf and a new back to it and of course, my favorite, glass knobs. I took alot of time and handpainted large bouquets on the sides and flowers on the front and top. I think it came out beautiful. It went to a wonderful customer who loves collectibles and antiques and crafts in general. This pieces is no longer availalbe but please link to our website to see what we do have in the store right now. 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.
