Classic Black Antique China Cabinet

  Does anyone have china dishes anymore? Is it still a thing? Years ago, when I got married, it was all about picking your china pattern and creating a gift registry for the pieces you needed. My pattern was called Chelsea by Royal Doulton, and it was a soft muted floral.

Ebony and Grey Dining Table


There are so many well loved but out dated stained dining tables just waiting to be reloved. I took this oval wood medium stained one and gave it an updated look in shades of grey.


The top had typical wear and tear but after a good sanding of 40 - 80- 120 grit sanding paper the finish was gone and the wood bare.


The perfect canvas for Homestead House's new stain and finishing oil all in one in ebony. I went with 3 coats letting each one dry overnight and given a light sanding of 220 between coats.


 This was a lovely dark black stain but I decided to take it further with various shades of Fusion Mineral Paint .


I dry brushed Fusion Mineral Paint soapstone first followed by ash then coal black and all with the same chip brush. How easy is that?



While those layered dried I painted the base and table skirt Fusion Mineral Paint little lamb, a soft universal grey.


 While the brush was still wet I dry brushed this on the top as well.


Homestead House black furniture wax was used on the base and table skirt to give dimension


Fusion tough coat was applied in 4 coats over the top to give table top durability
