Another Custom Ordered Set of Faux Tin Tiles

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.

Here is the latest custom ordered set of faux tin tiles from my Etsy store.

She wanted this tin tile pattern in shades of grey and white. I have 3 tin tile patterns to choose from: above and these two.

New tile boards were cut from hardboard I had in stock in 12" X 12" dimension.

Fusion Mineral Paint's pearl embossing paste was applied using an offset knife over the desired tile stencil which was ordered from Fusion Mineral Paint as well.

Lifting the stencil reveals the pretty pattern.

This was repeated for all 4 boards then left to dry well.

The base was painted Fusion Mineral Paint ash in a solid coat then the layers of colors were next.

Shades of white and greys were dry brushed then Fusion Mineral Paint's silver, brushed steel, pearl and champagne metallics were brushed over as well to give a metal effect.
