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.

Driftwood Stain Oil Finished Kids Table and Chairs


Taking an IKEA kids set from below to above in these steps


Step 1 : take apart with allen wrench and power sand all solid pine pieces all sides and wipe well


Step 2: Use Homestead House's stain and finishing oil all in one in driftwood and apply


Step 3: Let dry overnight and apply a second coat, sponge sanding after each coats is dry.


Step 4: I chose Fusion Mineral Paint in the color little lamb, a soft grey, and applied 2 coats on the chair seats.


I thought about painting the table top this grey as well but decided the scrub-able  surface is very appealing so left it original.


The two tone look works great


Step 5: put all the pieces back together and this IKEA hack is complete
