Vintage Table in House and Canvas Antique Teal

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.

I scored this solid wood vintage side table from an estate sale and new it just needed some color to be brought back to life. Step one clean every inch of the piece for a fresh canvas to work on.

Recently I won a paint package from House & Canvas on Instagram and chose this beautiful antique teal color as one of my choices. This is a new Canadian paint line that I have been wanting to try. I applied 2 coats, the paint went on so smooth and covered very well, two thumbs up.

Being a chalk paint it needs to be sealed and since this table may see allot of use I went with 2 clear coats of Varathane semi gloss to give a durable surface with just a slight sheen then to bring out the great detailing I added Daddy Van's black wax all over wiping back to catch in the crevice and details.
