Curio Cabinet by Bonnie

 

Hello everyone, today on the Blog we have our Guest Designer Bonnie to share with us her take on our Curio Cabinet.  This is a great storage item, and Bonnie has done it up

 beautifully!

Bonnie used the Kaisercraft paper, True Romance on the Curio Cabinet and it really tied in well with her amazing shabby vintage style. You can see on the doors of the cabinet she has used some of the  dressforms from the dressform with wings set as well.

Above here you can see inside the Curio Cabinet. There is lots of room inside this and you can see at the top of the doors some of our Cardstock Intricate Doilies peeking out!

On the side of the cabinet is another of our Dressforms, along with some gorgeous flowers, laces and trims. Bonnie has just done an amazing job!

Curio Cabinet by Heidi

Happy Monday!  

Good morning ladies, Heidi here! 
This weekend I decided to set to work on my Gina's Designs Curio Cabinet. I knew when I

first saw it in the store I had to give it a try although honestly it did not turn out the way I had envisioned it but I am very happy with it. 

I initially painted it ivory, thinking I would distress it and then when it was over it looked good but so plain.  So then I chose to cover it with designer paper- Crate Paper.  Then I started painting the doors and detailed areas as the ivory didn't work with the paper.  I guess my goal was a little old fashioned cabinet sitting in a dining room somewhere.  So I thought, what else would be in that dining room?  What about a chandelier? 

I painted the chandelier with some adirondeck paints in pool and then I covered the entire thing with some glitter and added a bow.  It really does look pretty on the side.  And what else was in grandma's dining room......   a bird cage of course. 

  What do you think?  I was thrilled that I could paint all these items to match this awesome paper.  I then wanted to add a few little trinkets inside of the cabinet.  Now as you can see I have a little wreath hanging on the front (in honor of the season coming up).  But when you open the door- just a few little jars and platters. 

I used a few little glass jars on the inside along with making a few little platters or layered items to represent some little trinkets inside the cabinet.  I had a few little spools and some beaded  pins.  I just thought vintage would work best. 

I do hope you enjoyed this project and remember you can get it at Gina's Designs!
