Rustic Cabinet

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!

  1. 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.

    1. Hi Caroline,

      Thank 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!

      Hugs,
      Suze
