Old Fashioned milk paint quilt rack in slate

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.

Another solid wood quilt rack calls for more Old Fashioned Milk Paint , this time in the color slate.

two coats of slate milk paint were applied then sand distressing followed

Once the milk paint was dry I chose Daddy Van's shadow black wax to seal the paint.

And after wiping off, it left the perfect shadows and dimension and deepened the slate color to a wonderful shade of dark grey.
