Recently I've fell in love with the shabby rustic country look. I saw some cabinets with the use of miniature chicken wire and thought it was a creative idea. I shopped around to find one and noticed that it's not easy to find and if I do, it's a bit pricey. So I did some brain storming and decided to decorate my own rustic cabinet for my shabby chic dollhouses. On this piece I stained it in a cherry finish, added some antiquing glaze to age, sanded it and then covered it with clear varnish. Gluing the aluminum caging was a bit tricky but not too hard. This is my first time to do this so excuse the imperfections.
It's not completely finished. I still need to wallpaper the back and add some shelves, but so far this is what I have. It's been really fun making this piece and I've decided to work on another one. Updates and new cabinet photos to come.
Thank you for stopping by!
I love this little cabinet. It's very Country French I think. I love it. The color you picked is perfect with the chicken wire.

Hi Caroline,
DeleteThank you so much! French Country does sound so much more appealing than rustic! ;o)
FYI I'm the one who got the fireplace from you! I smile every time I walk by my dollhouse. Such as adorable piece!
