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.

Mandala Stenciled Damask Jewelry Box


Have you tried the color damask yet? This is my first time and it is such a lovely unique soft mauve color. 

This boring plain wood jewelry box was the perfect candidate for the Fusion Mineral Paint  damask makeover.

After a good cleaning including a light sponge sanding then wiping well with Simple Green cleaner and a damp rag, it was time for a couple quick repair tasks.


Using an expired debit card as an applicator, DAP wood pro-x was wiped into holes on the back side. The pink makes it easy to see where applied then it dries a light wood color.


Fusion Mineral Paint sells small tester pots perfect to try a new color like this pretty damask. Two coats were brushed all over the wood jewelry box and the bright gold hardware.


On the top and drawer fronts, Fusion Mineral Paint Champlain was stenciled on using a sweet mandala stencil from Muddaritaville Studio.

The entire jewelry chest was then sponge sanded to smooth, distress the edges a wee bit and give a worn look before Fusion MineralPaint's ageing wax was brushed on the edges to further age.
