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.

MMS Milk Painted Shutter Grey Tray


I love updating trays; they come in so many shapes and sizes perfect to add color and quotes.


I picked up this tray stained black, the perfect base color of my weathered grey plan.


Miss Mustard Seed milk paint in shutter grey was brushed over all sides including the bottom.
Shutter grey was used on this sweet IKEA organizer and wine crate too.

A custom mixed of left over white milk paints was dry brushed over the soft grey and all were sanded smooth.


Like this very similar tray in white, I stenciled the word ENJOY using Fusion Mineral Paint in coal black.


The entire tray was sealed with clear then black waxes.
