Classic Black Antique China Cabinet

  Does anyone have china dishes anymore? Is it still a thing? Years ago, when I got married, it was all about picking your china pattern and creating a gift registry for the pieces you needed. My pattern was called Chelsea by Royal Doulton, and it was a soft muted floral.

Deep Sea Blue Mens Valet





 This double decker wooden men's valet was completed in classic navy just in time for Father's day which is coming soon.


Men's valets are always popular items I think do to the update and the fact more men like to have storage for all their treasures.

I have painted quite a few but have yet to find a double drawer one. You can find the others HERE.

As always the first step is to give it a thorough cleaning inside and out. I have Dixie Belle white lightening cleaner mixed in a spray bottle that I mist on and wipe well .The valet was lightly sanded with a Dixie Belle sanding sponge to smooth the surface and give a bit of grip for the paint. Everything is wiped again with a clean damp cloth.


I chose classic navy for the exterior color to coordinate with the goldy yellow lining interior. That and you can never go wrong with navy right?

I chose the new Dixie Belle silk paint line color called deep sea; a rich navy blue. I was also using this gorgeous color on this funky MCM desk .


This silk paint has a built in primer and top coat making it a great one step paint. Two coats were brushed on using a Dixie Belle French tip brush on all sides. And that is it! Done!
