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.

Walnut Stained Tub Tray


Custom ordered tub tray AKA bathtub board stained and customized ready for Christmas.


Actually I had two ordered so purchased 2 hobby boards; one 10" W and one 12" w both 36" long.


This tray is the 10" wide board with edges sanded with a sanding sponge all ready to be stained with Dixie Belle No Pain Gel Stain in walnut: a rich brown color.


below is a video view of the stain going on


I applied it with a blue shop towel with the grain on both sides. One coat is all that was need to get this gorgeous color below.

The right board is the 12" board in black caviar from Zar.


Once it was dried well it was time to customize. I finally got to use my Cutting Edge Stencils script alphabet stencil and smaller stencil brush.


I chose Dixie Belle caviar for the stenciling to create the word relax.



The board was then sealed on both sides with 3 coats of Dixie Belle satin clear coat lightly sanded with a Dixie Belle sanding sponge between coats.


And it is all ready to be wrapped and put under the tree for one deserving Mom :)


I love the simplicity this stain color and word evoke.

    Just like that lazy Susan, your bathtub board looks amazing! Love the stencils. I actually hadn't thought of that. Really, there's no surprise there - I'm not that creative. What a beautiful gift that would make. Thanks for sharing it at the Farmhouse Friday LP. Merry Christmas!
