The cabinet is painted with Vintage Paint's chalk paint in the color Dusty Green - a lovely shade that brings the spring indoors. The cabinet evokes thoughts of Paris and can be described as simple and elegant with a touch of nonchalance.
The cabinet holds many details! Have you noticed the sides? You may need to take a second look, but I've actually painted the silhouettes of two female bodies - without clothes! The inside of the doors is also decorated, really bringing the French associations to life.
The cabinet is incredibly spacious, so it can be used for various purposes. In fact, it can easily be transformed into a bathroom vanity with a sink and fixtures. It would be a truly beautiful detail in a bathroom in need of an elegant touch.

Fairy tails and stories by A Painter´s Creation The Cabinet with the Most Precios Treasures
Once upon a time, there was a world-renowned museum where the most marvelous treasures in history were kept. In the museum's largest and most spectacular hall stood a delicate little cabinet filled with divinely beautiful diamonds and gemstones. The top of the cabinet was made of the clearest crystal, allowing the jewels' exceptional beauty to be admired and adored.
The cabinet exuded pride and took great pleasure in showcasing its priceless treasures. It often boasted in front of the other cabinets, claiming to be the most significant cabinet in the entire museum. The cabinet showed no interest in the others. "Everyone looks at me," the cabinet boasted. "Visitors from all over the world come to see me and my treasures. They all want to hear the story of the most precious jewel in the world, and while I tell it, everyone looks at me."
Indeed, the cabinet was right that there was one jewel in particular that always stole the spotlight - 'Le Régent'. This rare and impressive jewel was one of the largest in the world, and its fascinating history had a magical effect on the audience.
The other cabinets in the hall shook their heads and tolerated the cabinet's arrogance, but they grew tired of only hearing about the jewel cabinet and its treasures. The other cabinets also held treasures of great significance, not jewels, but their treasures were just as precious and valuable.
Every morning when the museum opened its doors, the cabinet would immediately be surrounded by a crowd of visitors. The first thing they wanted to see was the jewel and hear its story. The cabinet enjoyed having all eyes on it and would recount the story with utmost importance in its voice.
"It is true that a curse rests upon the exceptionally precious diamond, 'Le Régent,' and it is said that anyone who has worn the jewel has been struck by misfortune and tragedy - or even lost their life." A gasp went through the hall, and the visitors widened their eyes. The cabinet held its head high and continued.
"The jewel's extraordinary story began far away in southern India, in a beautiful and diverse state. The diamond was found in a mine by a slave who worked there. The uncut diamond weighed a staggering 426 carats, nearly 100 grams.
The slave resolutely decided to keep his discovery a secret and hid the diamond in a wound on his leg. "It was not a wise decision, for soon it was discovered, and the slave was robbed and then brutally killed."
"Some years later, the diamond ended up in the hands of an Indian merchant who sold it to the governor of Madras. The governor was determined to transport the jewel all the way to London to have it cut by the world's most skilled diamond cutter. The governor hid the jewel in the heel of his shoe and successfully reached London unharmed. Here, the jewel was cut into a stunning and perfect 141-carat diamond, shining like a thousand stars on a dark night sky. The diamond's value multiplied, and the governor sold it to the regent of a large kingdom, giving the diamond its name, 'Le Régent,' meaning the regent."
Throughout the centuries, this remarkable diamond was worn by royalty and nobility, but the curse took its toll. Those who wore the stone were either gruesomely beheaded, sent into exile, forced to abdicate, died childless, or fell ill.
One day, it was decided that no more misfortune and deaths should occur. "The diamond was sent to the museum." "And here it lies to this day, with all its perfect beauty."
The cabinet bowed slightly and gave the other cabinets a haughty look as the audience erupted in cheers and applause for the fantastic story.
The day came to an end, the visitors left the museum, and darkness descended upon the grand hall. All the cabinets and their precious treasures took a well-deserved rest for the night.
It was so quiet in the grand hall that you could hear a pin drop. Occasionally, a slight creak or crack could be heard, but it was just the parquet floor expanding or one of the cabinets shifting its weight from one leg to another.
Late at night, a very faint shaking was suddenly heard. The cabinets sleepily opened their eyes. The sound grew louder and louder, and now they could hear it coming from the jewel cabinet. Everyone looked at the cabinet. The shaking became so strong that the jewel cabinet's legs lifted off the floor alternately. The cabinet shook and shook. It shook so terribly that it thought it was going to die. Every piece of wood creaked and groaned, causing excruciating pain. The terrible shaking went on for a long time, yes, the cabinet felt like it was an eternity. But just when it was most unbearable, it abruptly stopped, and the hall fell silent. The cabinet was completely shocked, and its legs could barely hold it upright. It felt dizzy, and it collapsed with a loud sigh. That's how the jewel cabinet stood for the rest of the night.
The next morning, the world-famous museum reopened. The doors swung open, and visitors flooded into the grand hall. But something was completely different. There was something that wasn't as it used to be, and it could be felt in every corner of the museum.
"Good morning," said the jewel cabinet to the other cabinets with joy in its voice. "How are your treasures this morning?" The cabinets looked at each other questioningly, then back at the jewel cabinet, but one by one, they began to tell about their wonderful treasures and their amazing stories. The jewel cabinet listened intently, and the visitors were thrilled. The cabinets were very surprised but also overjoyed, and when the visitors cheered for their stories, the jewel cabinet did too.
It was a lovely day, and the hall was filled with new and positive energy. And it was as if the hall had become even bigger and even more magnificent.
Thus, the jewel cabinet and the other cabinets in the hall lived happily until the end of their days, and they were all happy and content to be a part of a beautiful and diverse collection of precious treasures.
Snap, snap, the story of the jewel cabinet is over.
