This beautiful painted Bamboo cabinet is one of the prettiest examples of painted bamboo furniture. The paint options are limitless! This lovely bamboo cabinet is sold by Suktan Chic 110 Norwood Avenue in Elberon NJ. As you look at the cabinet you can see they lightly brushed the cabinet with some darker paint. In the past, I have achieved this look by using brown oil paint which is lightly brushed on. The larger the brush the better for this technique. I dip in my brush into the paint, and take a rag, and remove virtually all the paint on the brush, leaving a small remnant of paint on the bristles. Then brush over the ornate details of the furniture, and the oil paint will leave a nice highlight on the surface areas you want to draw attention to. This can add some extra detail to your painted bamboo furniture.
The Gatz is one of my favorite ebay stores to visit. Their store -Gatsby Collection is their physical store in Maryland. They are direct importers of vintage European furniture and contemporary furnishings. They visit Europe many times during the year and have a wide network of dealers to assist them with special pieces. Their staff in Europe hand picks every piece they import as well as purchases directly from homes so they can offer the best value on select pieces. They have containers full of furniture arriving from Europe every 2 to 3 months. They also design and import architectural garden items from Asia. They also have a network of iron and marble factories who specialize in solid quality marble mantles, sinks, statuary, gazebos as well as many other items. They always seem to have such unique and interesting furniture for their Ebay store.
Kenedita, a ebay dealer out of Sarasota, FL, always seems to have great faux bamboo furniture. Their furniture is raw, sold in the vintage form without any paint applied to their furniture giving you a clean and untouched palette to work with. Much of their bamboo furniture is priced quite reasonably which allows you to put together rooms of bamboo furniture at a budget.
