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

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/

Hand Painted Antique Vanity







I did this vanity for a teenage girl. The Mom had stopped by and said she had pottery barn blue furniture. she gave me a knob to match the color. I thought it was a bit bright at first but when I added the material they picked out and the darker knobs they wanted, I thought it was beautiful. Love the pop of color!!! It looked so gorgeous in the girls room. This is not available in our store, this was a private job.

Hand painted vintage furniture, handpainted dresser


I picked up this very functional dresser. Small enough to fit anywhere. I painted it an antique white and took off the colonial hardware. Was not sure what to do with it. Then, a customer came in with a mirror that she had purchased online. It as painted a dark green with bright flowers. I loved the color combination. I also had this vintage pulls that had the perfect patina for it. I asked her if I could use her piece for inspiration. I will definitely do more of this combination. Just sold today. We do not have this piece anymore but do have similar pieces. Please visit our store website to see what is available. http://www.handpaintedbycookie.com/

hand painted vintage furniture, handpainted desk




This was a great desk suitable for a child. I painted it a sage green and changed out the hardware to glass knobs. This is the original chair that went with the desk. It came out great. I love this green with the burgundy roses. It was sold to a young girl for her room. We do not have this available right now, but do have other desks. Please link to the website.

Hand painted antique childs chair




This is a great story. This was an old high chair that belonged to a man's Dad. He used it when he was small. He was getting married and wanted to paint it to surprise his bride and put it in their home. I love these sentimental stories when people have an attachment to things and are able to give them new life and use them again.
This piece was privately owned and is not available in the store. To see what we currently have, link to our website. http://www.handpaintedbycookie.com/

Handpainted antique cabinet




This is a great old kitchen built in that we refurbished. It had broken glass and needed some repairs but in the end, became a useful piece of furniture. I had painted it white but then changed to an olive green. It looked great both ways. This was for a customer and is not available in the store. To see what we have in the store visit our website at
