Classic Black Antique China Cabinet

  Does anyone have china dishes anymore? Is it still a thing? Years ago, when I got married, it was all about picking your china pattern and creating a gift registry for the pieces you needed. My pattern was called Chelsea by Royal Doulton, and it was a soft muted floral.

IKEA Farmhouse White Table


This IKEA table has been updated in a fresh farmhouse white style to become a minimalist computer station.


Before it was your typical orange tinged stained boring table but it was the perfect size a customer wanted for her computer station.

First step, scrub table clean with Simple Green cleaner.


and she wanted it white; hello Jolie Paint's  palace white.

It was also used on these latest projects.


The first coat shows the potential this table now has.


Hold up, after the first coat dried ink spots bled thru. Zinsser Bull’s Eye spray shellac can stop that. Spray a couple coats.


To add dimension to the solid white, Jolie Paint 's french grey was randomly brushed on using a  2” chip brush.


Another coat of palace white was brushed over using my  spray mister to blend well.


Brush and blend


Everything was then sanded smooth with a sanding sponge as well as distressing the edges to keep the farmhouse feel.


To seal it all up, using Jolie's fabulous wax brush I applied their clear wax.


It gives a beautiful finish to this table. Three coats were waxed on after each one dried well to add durability to the top and get the perfect sheen.
