The Mountain Mist at Dawn Chimney Cupboard….. An Old School Custom Furniture Original… Our charming and very useful chimney cupboard is made of solid hardwood with a painted, distressed and aged finish. Cupboard is 47 tall X 19 1/2 Wide X 13 Deep. The chimney cupboard features a raised panel door and 3 shelves. Shown in cherry wood painted British Red over Rittenhouse Blue, as well as plain Rittenhouse Blue with medium distressing and aged finish. Our chimney cupboard is also available in any of the 24 stock colors on our color chart. Here at Old School Custom Furniture we are lucky to own our own sawmill. We mill and dry our own lumber, which gives us an extraordinary amount of control over the quality of wood we use in your chimney cupboard. On stained pieces, it gives us the ability to perfectly match panels and doors. We much prefer working with hardwoods, and having our own mill allows us to use more expensive, durable hardwoods for the same price as other furniture artisans using soft pine. We have designed this particular finish for those who like the look of primitives, but want a slightly more refined less distressed look. Our chimney cupboard has the look and distressing of an old primitive piece, yet also looks distinctly more refined than a heavily distressed piece. It is specifically made to appeal to the discriminating buyer who enjoys the ambiance and patina of old furniture, but likes the looks and functionality of a new heirloom quality piece. Stock colors for our chimney cupboard are shown on the color chart. If you are unsure what the color will look like, we can send you a wood sample of the distressed, aged color before finishing your piece.This cupboard is also available in stained walnut, cherry or oak We can also use our customers custom color requests to match anything you like. Custom colors are an additional $15. To do a custom color, we will need the manufacturer name and the color number. If you need this in a slightly different size, we can do that for an additional charge. We take great pride in our chimney cupboard, and all cupboards are made by myself and my wife in our shop in the beautiful rolling hills of Jefferson County MO. At this time we have a lot of orders, so delivery time is running 4-6 weeks after order before your will be ready We look forward to doing business with you.

Old School Custom Furniture is a small custom furniture company. Old School consists of myself and my wife, Jim and Mary Shelby. We have a small workshop on 15 wooded acres in the beautiful rural hills 1 hour outside of St Louis MO. We also own a sawmill and kiln, so we cut and dry our own lumber, giving us unprecedented control over the clarity and quality of the wood we use.
This also gives us the option to make extremely sentimental pieces handcrafted from trees on property special to our customers, such as a hope chest crafted from a tree on a grandparents property!! While not an option for everyone, this option can be extremely sentimental to some customers. Please note, for us to use lumber from your property, it must be possible to get the lumber to us!
In addition, we are also one of a very small number of artisans using higher quality, more durable hardwoods for our painted furniture. We use cherry or walnut that is not clear enough for stained furniture to make our painted pieces. We prefer hardwoods for the quality and durability it possesses compared to the pine used for most painted furniture.
We specialize in Shaker, Mission and Antique Reproduction pieces.
We use any type of finish you prefer. Some of our more popular finishes are hand rubbed oils, as well as painted, distressed and antiqued reproduction pieces.
If you can dream it, imagine it or draw it, we can build it for you.
Why settle for store bought when you can get heirloom quality, solid hardwood, hand crafted for the same price?
