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.

This cute little wooden jewelry box needed some personality. First step, clean all surfaces well. Bring on the Fusion Mineral Paint  in the lovely English rose.

It is such a soft petal pink. This is one coat. In order not to sand thru the original finish it is easiest to wet distress the edges soon after painting after each coat to let the original dark stain peek thru.


Two coats were the coverage needed and once dry all was lightly sanded with Fusion MineralPaint's ageing wax added to the edges to give the antiqued look.


One step to go. Here are the latest rich navy blue and soft damask jewelry boxes and the vintage farmhouse coffee table tutorials. 


Now to finish the glass. I went with my favorite faux mercury glass look (using vinegar & spray paint) that blends so well with the antiqued vintage look.


It is perfect don't you think?



The soft pink is perfect with the light grey interior.
