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.

Chunky Wood Blue & Red Pepper Grinder



A recent post on painted salt and pepper sets shared my love of doing them. After painting a chicken wired frame in layers of red and blue I grabbed this solid wood chunk pepper grinder and painted it to match the frame.


After scrubbing the grinder all up and letting it dry, American Paint Co in beach glass was applied followed by their fireworks red. These layers were sealed with Minwax dark wax to deepen the colors and give a soft sheen to the grinder.


I think it is such a fun piece to have in a kitchen.
