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.

Vintage Jewelry Box in Country Chic's Cheesecake


After above and before below,


this vintage tiered jewelry box was given a fun makeover.


Just look at all the storage apace!


And this pretty hand painted art on the top!


I had to keep it. Using Country Chic paint in cheesecake; a warm white, I hand painted all around the art and the entire jewelry box. I recently used this pretty color on this dining table base and sofa table.


Two coats of paint went on in total. I wet distressed the edges to reveal the dark original stain and keep it looking vintage. To seal the paint, clear wax was brushed and rubbed in for a smooth finish.


To further age it and give a rustic country feel, Country Chic's antiquing wax was added. See it going on the top layer above.



And all completed.


Once posted it sold in an hour with a waiting list hoping I can find another but this is the only one I have seen to date ;)
