Painted Cottage Furniture.....Painted Cottage Style, What is it?

Wednesday, February 7, 2018

Ahhh.....  familiar terms that describe the type of decor that we want to accomplish to get that "feeling" of home! Whether or not we love Shabby Chic style, Painted Cottage style, French Farmhouse Chic, French Country, Farmhouse Decor, Coastal Chic Home, or an amazing Romantic Style Home it can be accomplished by adding beautiful furnishings and touches to your style of choice.  We will start with Painted Cottage Style:


Painted Cottage Armoire

Painted Cottage style furniture is usually very romantic, reminiscent of the time it was produced.  Pieces of cottage furniture can date anywhere from 1890-1940.  The industrial age of mass produced furniture began!  Usually Cottage Style furniture was factory made with woods such as walnut and mahogany and veneers were used in abundance.  In their natural state, these pieces can be unattractive and look tired to most, but we can make them shine again!   Most would refer this style as "Shabby Chic". We refer to it as Painted Cottage Furniture. We work our magic and make these timeworn pieces come alive again!

Painted Cottage Beds
Painted Cottage beds usually were produced between 1890-1940 were offered in "Twin size" and "Full size"  Queen and King size beds were not offered until the 1950s-60s.  Painted Cottage Beds are perfect additions to Children's bedrooms, Beach Cottages, Romantic Homes, Shabby Chic decor, guest rooms and Painted Cottage style homes.  They can be so Romantic Home Style and fit into today's French Country decor.  They can be either newly upholstered and painted or just painted with floral appliques added.

Painted Cottage Dressers

Dressers that are considered Cottage Dressers usually were made of walnut with veneer or mahogany.  It was common to see them with attached mirrors that were on stanchions.  These sets were commonly sold in catalogs such as Sears or in local furniture stores.  This type of furniture was considered inexpensive and affordable for the normal household.  We now find them irresistibly charming to use as Painted Cottage Furniture because of their romantic lines and durability.

A Little Slice of French Countryside...Magnifique!

Sunday, August 5, 2012

I have been totally enamored with the combination of pink and green.  The warm earthy feel of Versailles soothes my soul....then an a touch of pink and some French stencils and I am hooked!  We found a gorgeous turn of the century sideboard that was screaming for some updating....and updating we did!  She stood a full 48" tall and was 54" inches across.  The detailing on her was conducive to a little sprucing up! 
We left her gorgeous oak top in it's natural state, giving it a light sanding, stain and wax.  Her side detailing was quite pleasing to the eye....
Of course a touch of pink on her side detailing made me happy! Layered and rubbed to shabby perfection!
Her feet ornamentation was begging for a little pink too! I said yes!
We shined her inside and out.....
And added some pretty striped paper in her drawer bottoms...
We enhanced her beautiful back splash with pretty Fleur-de-lis...
Added some gorgeous crystal knobs and French stencils here and there.  
Magnifique!

Cottage furniture and Australian Shepherds.....

Monday, August 8, 2011

                                                            What do they have in common?  
                                                                                    .
                                                                                    .
                                                                                    .
     My extreme  love for both.......strange ends of the spectrum, Australian Shepherds are very busy, Cottage furniture is very soothing, maybe I need each to even out the gap between crazy busy and calm perhaps? :)
