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 Ornate End Table in Refrew Blue


Are you a fan of these vintage ornate end tables? I think they are a great piece of the past when they are painted to bring the details out.


They have a presence about them and just need a pretty coat of paint to bring them back to life.


For this large square one I chose Fusion Mineral Paint in renfrew blue. After a deep cleaning with Simple Green cleaner and a soft damp rag then wiped with clean water and left to dry, it was time to paint.


The color is such a rich teal with a clear base that allows the original dark stain and wood grain to peek thru perfectly.


Here is the second coat going on (left) using my Fusion Mineral Paint angled 2" brush.


Once it dried well overnight I added black wax to POP the details. See the above right door black waxed and left not.


The original hardware was scrubbed and put back on.


This vintage piece looks awesome now I think, do you agree?
