Soft Neutral Shades Media Cabinet

Fresh Start for a Veneer Classic This manufactured media cabinet—with its once orange-tinged wood veneer—has been completely refreshed in a soft, neutral taupe called   French Villa . Inside the glass-front doors, the adjustable shelf pops in   Truffle , a beautifully rich and earthy shade from a newly released palette. The warm, complementary colors work together to give this piece a stylish, modern update and a brand new lease on life.

Cabinet door tray in robins egg blue


I love a good upcycle and turning solid wood cabinet doors into serving trays is one of the best.


My Mom gave me this door which came actually hinged to the cabinet front. Once it was removed from the hinges it was time to take off the center knob and fill all the holes with wood filler.

The door had one end cut flush so I cut the other end to match and all was sanded smooth; sides, front and back.


Rustoleum chalk board paint was rolled on with a mini foam roller with 4 coats in total. At the same time I did a red tray, a gold chalkboard and a blue milk paint chalkboard too. 


I love robins egg blue from Fat paint applying 2 coats to the door edges and backside.


The edges were lightly distressed to reveal the wood then sealed with Daddy Vans clear lavender scented wax in two coats.


The last step was to drill holes and add 2 new sleek black handles and sponge rubber feet on the back.


This color is so hard to photograph true but trust me it is the prettiest blue.
