Blue and Gold MCM Record Cabinet

I picked this hand crafted Mid Century Modern styled record storage cabinet from an estate sale. It is a solid all wood build with gold hardware that begged for some color.

The top had wear in the original stained finish so step one was to power sand it all smooth with my Dewalt orbital sander and clean the entire cabinet inside and out well with warm water, soap and some TSP .

I chose Fusion Mineral Paint in Liberty blue for it. I have not used this color yet and was excited to try it. I think it is the perfect rich deep blue while still being neutral. Two coats were applied and left to dry overnight. See liberty blue on a mens valet I painted right after.

Another new Fusion product is the metallic paint in pale gold. I think it will look stunning with this deep blue.

I was lucky enough to with this French Trellis Stencil from Redesign with Prima from an Instagram giveaway from House and Canvas, thank you!

After the stencil dried well, I sponge sanded all to smooth the surface and give the stencil a worn look.

The original hardware was cleaned and polished and put back on.

To re-hydrate and restore the wood grain luster inside, I rubbed in Fusion's hemp oil. It is easy to apply and rub in and makes the wood glow.

And this beauty is complete!
