Sterling Grey Coffee Mug Tree

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.

Let's update this wooden coffee mug tree. The solid wood 6 prong cup storage is in need of some color. A soft grey with a bit of ageing was the perfect solution. Here is how it was done.
