Men's Valet Graduation Gift

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.

This mens' valet was custom ordered as a graduation gift, isn't that a great idea?

The style is classic but the stained wood has seen wear over the years. A new coat of paint will make it perfect.

Classic charcoal was chosen for the color; ash from Fusion Mineral Paint is the perfect color.

Ash has been used in so many projects.

Two coats were brushed on then a bit of Fusion Mineral Paint black wax was brushed in the corners and along the surfaces for a bit of dimension as the customer did not want any distressing preferring a more modern look.
