Cocktail Cabinet with Oak Leaves and Greyhounds
You may pass by these types of display cabinets without a second glance, but many of them have lots of special character. Here's one I just refurbed for my home.
This Demi-Lune style cabinet is in near perfect condition and has the cutest oak leaf design on the front panels.
Pretty much lost in brown eh? I wanted to turn it into a colourful drinks cabinet. So I painted it with Bright Green chalk paint inside.
Then Roman White chalk paint outside.
Gilding was added and the external surfaces shabbied up with some light sanding.
I added a set of Greyhound dogs inside - l like the idea of oak leaves and greyhounds, almost a Coat of Arms. Or if you like Game of Thrones Sigils?
House Baratheon could go down a treat!
Oh and I never forget the feet, I like to see them dressed up in little booties.
And now happy at home :-)
