....this is the first little piece of furniture finished for the 'new project'....I want these (new) pieces to look as though they might have been purchased from a French brocante....or some such??? I have painted it a soft grey, but I'm not sure if the true colour shows in the photo. At present I have it filled with items from some of my favorite 'foodies'.
p.s......French food cupboard is made from a kit....(although I added the 'chicken wire' look to the doors instead of the wire cover provided in the kit)....

This looks great! I love the chicken wire--you can half-see the goodies on the other side--yummy! :-)
It's absolutly gorgeous, so is all that french food and wine! My favourite though, is the teapot, it's beautiful.
What a great kit!!!! I love that piece. You have finished it beautifully with the chicken wire "look". Ooooh This is going to be a great project I can just feel it. :-)
Although... I don't see how you are going to have time with writing your book about France too. LOL Just kidding but I wish you would.
Linda, it's wonderful! The gray definitely shows up in the second pic. What did you use for the chicken wire? Just curious. :)
Beautiful little cupboard! The "chicken wire" is perfect as is the gray color.
What a lovely little cupboard! The chicken wire really makes it special (did you use tulle?? ;) ) and the teapot is adorable! I can't wait to see your new project...
This color actually looks great. Great piece of your new project!

Linda it's beautiful and so typically French. The colour is great and I love the 'chicken wire' effect.
Nice beginning ! I can't wait seeing the whole scene.
Should I feel ashamed to admit that I was so busy looking at the wine that I didn't even see the gorgeous teapot! ;)
Linda, you have been busy busy. Nice that it's so cold outside, you have a good excuse to cop inside and play. Of course I love the little cupboard! you are the best at finding the most beautiful kits and then you have the greatest ability to make them perfectly.
Well done my friend! Minihugs to you all, Rosanna
Good start, indeed: great!
Above all, I find perfect the measure you use in all your choices ...
No ostentation, but only so much beauty in every detail :-)

It's lovely. I like the doors and the rack for bottles. There seems to be great things inside the cupboard.

Its perfect! Especially with the little wine bottles at the bottom.
Hello Linda, I am a great admirer of your passion for minitures. Did I ever tell you that my 8yr old Dd often asks to look at what you are up to...once I found our handyman(allso known as the gardener, builder, tiler,all round right hand around the house) painting the teeny little furniture of her (off the shelf)dollshouse-all "french white" by her instructions...she is so inspired with your petit maison. (so am I of course!)
thank you for sharing your talent with us. xo Colette ~ Afrique du Sud
The new piece certainly looks like a french brocante piece! I like the soft grey colour and the 'chicken wire'. I think I am getting a feel for where you're going with your new project...love it!
Test to see if I can post here Linda... Catherine XXX
Ok, I just found this site and I think I have died and gone to heaven. I have been collecting 10 years, and I think now I want to convert to French. I will not be able to sleep tonite, with this picture of this dolhouse in my mind. Can you tell me where I can get more ideas to make my dollhouse and real house French. I have never been to France, but OMG, I think I am in heaven. Words cannot tell you how beautiful this is to me. Thank you Becky
What a wonderful piece...love it!!
love the Bon Maman! just so exciting to see these creations! Col & Dd Afrique du Sud
