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.

Horse Mounting Block Project


My youngest daughter wanted a mounting block for our arena and was lucky enough to have wood and paint on hand to do just that.


First step was to build the mounting block out of deck boards that were pulled off my daughters deck when they built a new one. I love the fact that the wood was repurposed rather then being burnt or buried.


She wanted a turquoise color (hers and my favorite color) to paint it in. I pulled out my can of turquoise Rustoleum's Chalked ultra matte paint .
 

She painted a nice solid coat on with a Rustoleum chalked paint brush and let it dry.


To seal the chalk paint I sprayed on a few coats of Rustoleum's chalked protective topcoat. It is now ready for use, bring on the horses.
