Copper and Shades of Blue Tin Tile Set

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.

Another custom ordered faux tin tile set, this set is in shades of turquoise, robin's egg blue, silver and copper. You can see shades of grey set of 4, silvers & blues, and another custom grey set of 4.

This Etsy customer chose tin tile stencil #1, I have 3 pattern options to choose from. Using Fusion Mineral Paint's pearl embossing paste the raised stencil was applied to each of the 12" X 12" hardboard pieces.

Fusion Mineral Paint in chocolate was brushed over the raised stencils as the base coat.

Next layers of blues were dry brushed over in a variety of colors.

The customer wanted 2 lighter and 2 darker. Here is the difference between the two.

Fusion Mineral Paint metallic in copper and silver along with pearl wax were then added to give shine and more dimension to the tile pattern using my favorite tool; my fingers. :)

Below you can see one completed with the addition of metallics and the other not.
