I coordinate with carpenters for structural changes like shelf adjustments or adding LED lights before I apply the artistic layers like Lippan work or chalk finishes to match your home aesthetic. This project started with a simple thought. An old cupboard had been sitting in the corner, and I wanted to turn it into something meaningful for my home. The process is never just about aesthetics. It starts with deep sanding to strip away old polish, which is the most critical step for a smooth finish. Then, the structural work begins. I team up with a carpenter to modify the interior, adding drawers or shelving if needed. For this specific Puja unit, we added laser-cut details and LED lighting to bring warmth to the space. Finally, the art happens. I used chalk paint for that soft, matte texture. To give it a traditional feel, I incorporated Lippan art with mirrors, which adds depth and character. The result is a piece that is uniquely yours, created from something you already owned. If you have an old cabinet or wardrobe that needs a fresh purpose, let us talk about how we can make it work for your space. ## About Rimjhim I am Rimjhim, and I believe old furniture is an emotion, not just wood. I love giving forgotten pieces a fresh coat of life, whether it is painting a mural or turning an old cabinet into a stunning Puja unit.
