A Painted Low Cupboard
May 22, 2017
I’ve wanted to try the paint decoration as seen on early 17th C. pieces. This Low Cupboard of 1690’s gave me the opportunity to try. Although the original was not painted, I used geometrical decoration and stylized vines as seen on a 1690 Hadley Chest.
The material is Monterey Pine. I will be using this piece in the family room as the cabinet for entertainment system and flat screen TV.
I created a Blog Post on Design. Click. Build on how I used SketchUp to create this piece.

Very nice! and I like that shed too.
My initial reaction was, "Not my style." But I find myself unable to look away. I gravitate towards furniture that features the wood grain and relies upon mechanical joints. I generally don't like painted wood. This piece breaks all of my rules. And yet I still feel oddly drawn to it. Those geometric designs are fascinating.
