Vintage Art Deco China Cabinet Restore

This Art Deco waterfall china cabinet, circa 1940, had seen better days. Tucked away in a shop and used as a storage shelf, it was in rough shape. A family member, inspired by a photo featuring rich navy tones and warm wood, wanted to see it brought back to life. With that vision in mind, I gave the piece the repairs and makeover it deserved — blending classic navy with warm wood to honor both its history and a fresh new style.

Homestead Blue meets black wax



I purchased this unusual accent/end table because of its shape and because it was actual solid wood, no laminate like many out there. The hardware intrigued me too but the carved doors called for some dark detailing. Fusion Mineral Paint's Homestead Blue seemed the perfect color to paint this piece and add my new black wax.

I LOVE the ease of painting with Fusion; a good shake of the can & a good polyester brush and your set. It goes on so smooth, self levels and adheres amazingly. Just one coat was all that this piece needed.

Once dry, which was not long later, another great feature of Fusion paint I added black wax for detailing and shadowing.


The hardware perhaps took the longest part of the process. It is solid brass but was needing a good cleaning so out came the brass polish and about an hour later this was the result.




With the hardware put back on when dry, here is the final project.
