Patina inspired – Make handpainted bird motif furniture with Cottage Hill
If you’ve admired Italian handpainted furniture by companies like Patina, you will love a tutorial by Lindey at the home decor blog Cottage Hill that shows you how to create a handpainted bird motif on plain furniture.
In a small New York City apartment, every piece of furniture has to count. Lindsey’s dresser project offers both storage and style.
Lindsey handpainted branches and leaves freehand on a plain dresser she owned. She then decoupaged vintage bird images to complete a look inspired by Patina.
Linsey found the bird images on the blog The Graphics Fairy, an excellent resource for free vintage clip art.
