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.

Farmhouse Crate


This little wooden crate just needed some paint and dark wax to give it personality.

It is available on my Etsy store


Start by scrubbing the piece well with a cleaner like Simple Green cleaner and a scrub brush to get in all the corners.


Jolie Paint's palace white was dry brushed on all sides then lightly sanded to smooth the wood and remove some of the paint using a sanding sponge. A damp cloth wiped a bit of the paint off the metal corners for a worn look.


The entire crate was sealed with Jolie's clear wax using their fabulous wax brush. To add dimension and give an aged look, their brown wax was applied in corners and around the edges. I LOVE their wax brush and have 2, one for each color wax.
