Description

Are you looking to invest in your very own luxurious vintage drinks cabinet?

Imagine hosting an enchanting and magical evening with your family and friends, where staying at home for drinks is just as glamorous as going out. Where you experience the opulence of a luxury cocktail bar and you are the master mixologist wowing your guests with your repertoire of tasty tipples.

When is a linen cupboard, not a linen cupboard? When it's transformed into a chic cocktail cabinet...

Art Deco sophistication meets Club Tropicana in this beautifully reimagined cocktail cabinet.

Originally a vintage linen cupboard, this piece has been given a new chapter in life in more ways than one. and whilst the outside might exude sophistication and elegance, reminiscent of the Great Gatsby era, with its oh-so-stylish Art Deco design, the inside is a riot of colour and whimsy—a true invitation, to get the party started.

Painted in Fusion Chestler, a captivating blue-green hue, this cabinet boasts liquid gold leaf detailing on its feet, hardware, and stencilled accents, adding a touch of opulence to its exterior.

So far, so Great Gatsby, but what about the Club Tropicana vibe...?

Well, when you open those doors, you're instantly transported to a tropical paradise, with a delightful parrot wallpaper featuring colourful cockatoos and macaws. It’s so lifelike, if you listen very carefully, you can almost hear the calls of the jungle, and the faint strains of Carmen Miranda joyfully singing ...Chicca Chicca Boom Chic! with her handsome co-star.

Inside it boasts two handy glass hanging racks and a motion-activated illuminator, ensuring seamless hosting. Beneath the two doors, you'll discover two spacious drawers, offering ample storage for cocktail essentials, linens, and cutlery. The perfect cabinet to house your drinks collection in style.

And to complete the tropical theme, a leaf transfer in radiant gold and glitter embellishes the surfaces, adding a touch of class to the interior.

Whether you're hosting a lavish soirée reminiscent of The Great Gatsby or simply unwinding with a nightcap in style, this cabinet promises to set the stage for unforgettable moments of indulgence and sophistication.

So why not bring the hidden spirit of Club Tropicana into your home and let the festivities begin?

Why choose vintage furniture?

Deciding to invest in a piece of vintage furniture is a sustainable choice in helping to save the environment and our planet. It gives you the freedom and the opportunity to create a truly personal, unique and stylish interior design statement for your home, your stamp, and your mark. It’s your chance to distinguish yourself from the crowds who are so easily led by fast-made, mass-produced and indistinguishable furniture, which, more often than not has been transported from the other side of the world.

Vintage furniture will make your home feel very special; it has character and soul and will be unique to you. My customers often say “That’s different”, to which I always reply “It’s good to be different!” Vintage furniture really can tell a story that no modern piece ever can: it gives a nod to the past and a smile to the future.

Owning a piece of vintage furniture can give you a sense of pride and nostalgia, a feeling you simply cannot experience from new furniture. My ethos is to respect the character of the piece while always delivering a structurally sound and fully functioning item of furniture ready for its new chapter in life.

A great deal of love, care and attention goes into every refurbishment I undertake so that you can enjoy your furniture for many years to come.

About my furniture

Building on a solid foundation

Before starting, every piece is thoroughly checked. Any faults, such as loose joints, surface damage, etc are addressed. You can be sure that I haven't just covered up problems with a 'lick of paint'.

Surfaces are fully prepared prior to painting to make sure that the finish will be durable and lasting.

The right products for best results

I only use high quality furniture paints and other specialist products that I know and trust. You'll find many of these products available in my 'paint shop'.

Out of sight, but not out of mind

It's not only the first impression that matters: details do too.

All edges, where 'painted' meets 'not-painted', are taped to ensure clean lines.
Backs of pieces are generally painted - not every piece will be placed against a wall.
Underneaths of pieces are painted if there is any chance of seeing them when a piece is in place.
The insides of cupboards, drawers, etc are cleaned and refreshed

Not just for show

Almost all furniture has to be practical as well as beautiful.

I apply varnish to surfaces that are likely to see heavier wear, so the painted finish will be protected.

Both before and after painting, all moving parts, such as doors or drawers, are checked for smooth operation.

Do you want to know more?

I am happy to answer any questions that you may still have, or to supply more photographs if needed.

Should you be close enough, you are also very welcome to visit my Brailsford studio to inspect any pieces.

Trust in experience

I have over 10 years of professional furniture painting experience, and everything I have learned during that time goes towards making sure that you will be delighted with your new piece of furniture.

But don't just take my word for it, see my testimonials from previous happy customers.
