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.

Custom Purple Jewelry Box



This worn dated jewelry box needed an update, hello Fusion Mineral Paint.
I had a wee amount of the Pantone Color 2018 Purple from this custom growth ruler I did.
Using Fusion's recipe and 3 colors, this pretty purple was created.


One coat covered this smooth surface perfectly then the entire box was distressed to reveal the original color. 

To add more dimension, Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax  was rubbed around the edges which also seals the distressed edges too.

To update the etched glass top, it was treated with Krylon Looking Glass spray to give it a faux mercury glass look. I love doing this with vintage jewelry boxes, see it used here on other jewelry boxes with popular pink and more pink and a fun French frame in ash
