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 set of Coal Black Press Back Chairs


Press back chairs are a favorite of mine and apparently quite a few others too. After I posted a pair I did last year that came in for a refresh moving from outside on the deck to inside, a customer messaged hoping they were for sale. Luckily I had one set left unpainted that I could do in the exact same color, Fusion Mineral paints coal black.


Once scrubbed clean they were ready to go, two coats of coal black covered for a perfect solid classic black.


While I painted them, in between coats I was working on these glammed up nightstands in Fusion's champlain.


To add durability to them as they will be part of a family dining table, I applied 2 coats of Fusion's hemp oil wood finish. It also adds a slight sheen to the black and enriches the deep color even more.







The cedar lined armoire in the background is done in Homestead House (Fusion's parent company) milk paint midnight blue with coal black stenciled on the sides and sealed with the same hemp oil.

      It is a bit of work depending on the original finish condition but the paint is listed above, it is Fusion in coal black :)

    I have 4 of these, someone was throwing them out & I rescued them. They are sturdy chairs only thing wrong with them is someone slapped a coat of black paint on them. You want them?
