As part of our Danish Modern Design, we transformed this once forgotten 1950's radio cabinet into a stylish storage piece.
We needed something that would fit next to the stove and fill the space behind the sofa, so finding something that fulfilled both form and function was key. Pricing was also important, as we were on a tight design budget.
Everything we found at retail was in upwards of $100, which was out of our budget..

I came across this little gem at one of my favorite Antique Malls, Tacoma Antique Center at Fife. It was the perfect size and had ample storage inside, it was just a little rough around the edges and could use some updating. And who could beat the $28.00 price tag?
I decided to give it a two-tone look by keeping the wood grain look on the front panels, then painting out the frame and legs in black to coordinate with our palette and give it a masculine look.
The result is amazing and the client loves it!
So, instead of painting out vintage pieces, try a two-tone look, there is less painting to do, some of the original features show through, and you will have a one-of-kind piece!
