Lighting Up the Liquor

This is the perfect time to get to those household projects you’ve been putting off. Dave, The Vintage Addict decided to finally light up his liquor cabinet. The cabinet originally held a TV, a 1963 RCA Victor. Dave purchased it at an auction years ago. It has served its new purpose well, but sometimes it is a bit too dark inside to find just that right libation. Not anymore. Watch while The Vintage Addict lights up this project, for less than $30.

Supplies you’ll need:

What is Pyrography, Flemish Art

Recently while in my favorite junk shop, I found a beautiful piece of Flemish art. This type of art is also known as pyrography. The art of pyrography uses a pencil-like or (poker) object to burn a design into wood or leather. Pyrography was popular in the Victorian era and the Art Nouveau era. The designs can be flowers, words or really anything the artist wants to draw.

The piece I found is a wooden cross embellished with lilies. The word Easter is prominent on it as well as the date it was made, 1909. This particular piece is even burned on the sides. The art is signed by Jean. It’s an amazing find that now hangs in my house.

If you have Flemish, Pyrography pieces I’d love to see them. Post them on my Facebook page @daveisthevintageaddict.
