Autumn Floral Wooden Box

  Autumn is upon us, friends! When I received this lovely box from a friend, I immediately knew it needed a floral makeover. The newly released Autumn Morning  Dixie Belle transfer  looks absolutely stunning against the pretty green paint, don’t you think?

Country Cabinet goes vintage white


How to take this country cabinet from orangy stained to classic warm white with character


Items-

1- cabinet
2- 3 paint colors (I used Cece Caldwell paint in duck blue, parchment & vintage white)
3- paint brushes
4- sanding sponge block
5- stencils
6- stencil brush
7- sealer (I chose Cece Caldwell paint's endurance finish)
8- sponge
9- new knob
10- dark wax (I used Cece Caldwell paint's aging cream)
11- wax brush
12 soft buffing cloth

How to-

1- remove hardware, scrub old cabinet well with soap/TSP water & scrub brushes then rinse well and let dry

2- apply duck blue paint cross hatched over entire piece (I did this dresser in duck blue too)


3- reapply another coat of duck blue over all surfaces

4- randomly brush parchment over the cabinet


5- apply full coat of vintage white


6- sand with sanding sponge block to smooth paint and reveal all colors and added texture


7- paint a stencil on the cabinet to give added character (the link takes you to my stenciling video on my Facebook page)



8- sand again, wipe off dust and apply sealer with damp sponge with 2 coats

9- paint a new wood knob 2 coats of the blue, sand and seal and install knob

10 - add dark wax to give the piece added definition, age and character,


above the top shelf has the wax started and bottom not and below all done


11- Buff with a soft cloth and you are all done
