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.

Azure Stenciled Jewelry Box


What a change, right?


This forlorn little jewelry box was begging for a makeover and that is just what I did.



After a very good cleaning with a damp rag and Simple Green cleaner, I painted it in two coats of one of my favorite blues from Fusion Mineral Paint called renfrew blue.


Originally I hoped to decoupage this pretty napkin over it but after research I found that white napkins over dark colors were a challenge. The paint color should be the same as the napkin background for a seamless look so that idea was scratched.


From my stencil stash I chose this gorgeous floral stencil which was part of the Indian Inlay stencil kit from Cutting Edge Stencils . I stenciled the floral design using another of my favorite  Fusion Mineral Paint blues called azure.


I used another portion of the stencil set for the front as well.


Then to top it all off, Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax was added to the edges to give a more worn aged look.
