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.

little vanity

here is a cute little vanity I picked up. Britt has mentioned a few times she would like one so I kept my eyes open and found this little cutie

and below the inspiration photo but not sure about the distressing


 all apart and washed
 top with stain penetrating
 wiped and first coat of white
nearly done
and done.. note Grandma Stolz's chandelier in reflection

actually it is not done, I want to get a darker wax or try a treatment to age it a bit and we need to find a stool. The fellow threw in this old stool and we had one with legs that broke so thought perhaps I could combine to make this but really a simple vanity stool might be best
