Soft Neutral Shades Media Cabinet

Fresh Start for a Veneer Classic This manufactured media cabinet—with its once orange-tinged wood veneer—has been completely refreshed in a soft, neutral taupe called   French Villa . Inside the glass-front doors, the adjustable shelf pops in   Truffle , a beautifully rich and earthy shade from a newly released palette. The warm, complementary colors work together to give this piece a stylish, modern update and a brand new lease on life.

Vintage French Provincial End Tables Walnut Stain & Limestone



These 2 sweet French provincial accent tables were part of a trio. I shared the makeover of the coffee table HERE. It was done in a very similar base color but not exactly the same. These two were done to match this coffee table from last summer I did for my sister. She had called these two to be done to match and I finally had time to get to them seeing she was coming from Las Vegas next month to pick them up ;)


Of course first step was to clean them up good with warm soapy water and some Fusion Mineral Paint TSP.

then the top was chemically stripped with stripper and wiped with mineral spirits to remove and residual stripper.


The double decker accent table right has the top level sanded and the bottom level just stripped

And both now sanded to bare wood


Next step was to apply General Finishes antique walnut gel stain to all the tops.


Such a great color




The bases were painted Fusion Mineral paint in limestone


These both are shown with one coat but 2 were applied for a nice coverage.


The tables were lightly sand distressed then I added dark wax to the warm white using Fusion Mineral paint dark wax in espresso.

  2. These are beautiful! I picked up a two-tiered end table last week and did a similar project.
