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.

Dark Stain and Yellow Milk Paint Step Stool


I run milk paint classes and the perfect project is this IKEA solid wood step stool.
Milk paint loves solid wood!



First step is to assemble the stool, I have left the step tops off to stain with Homestead House's stain and finishing oil all in one in cappuccino. This rich dark stain goes on so well on the natural wood. I applied 2 coats lightly sanding between and after the coats dried overnight.


Homestead House Milk Paint in prairie sunset, the perfect fall yellow was mixed up and brushed on, again using 2 coats.


To seal the milk paint I used a clear matte poly which deepens the yellow color .


Add the stained step tops and it is complete!
