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.

Jumbo Golden Chalkboard Frame



Sometimes a piece just needs a new purpose. This faded dated old print was matted in a jumbo  (34"X40") modern gold frame. I could see it so much better as a chalkboard.


To protect the frame I used painters tape


then applied Rustoleum chalkboard paint with a small foam roller


giving it 4 coats (I like to do a few boards at a time) sponge sanding coats after each one dries minimum 4 hours, I also change roller direction with each coat

See other projects shown above finished here; red tray, blue tray, large milk painted frame


Remove the tape and whalaa
