Antique Record Cabinet Repurposed - SOLD

 This great old record cabinet sat in a second hand furniture store for a couple of years and had no takers.

Although the inside was charming, the records could only be stored without their sleeves so it limited potential buyers.  

 It could hold 50 records per shelf and still has the coordinating inventory lists inside the door (see picture at bottom)

 Avert your eyes if you cannot handle the following picture.

 We used a sawzall to remove all the dividers and rebuilt the shelves saving the charming number strips on each shelf. 

 I painted it in Arles and finished it with dark wax only. 

She is even prettier in person.  Drop by the store and see for yourself.

Annie Sloan is coming to town!

We're thrilled to have Annie Sloan, one of the world's most popular experts in decorative painting, join us at both our 2013 Toronto Fall Home Show (Oct. 6, 2013) and our Vancouver Home + Design Show (Oct. 19, 2013).  As one of the world’s most respected experts in the field of decorative painting, Annie has been largely instrumental in the painted furniture revolution through her easy-to-approach, lively and creative attitude to painting.

Annie has developed an incredible paint brand called Chalk Paint.  Not actually meant for chalk, Annie's Chalk Paint sticks to almost anything without any priming or sanding!  This fast-drying miracle paint can be applied to wood, concrete, metal, matte pasting, earthenware, and much more indoors or out!
