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.

Black Gel Stain and Anchor Silk Paint Bar Stools


A good customer offered me these bar stools as her parents were purging and did not want to toss them. I said sure I could update them easily as they were in very good condition, Just a fresh coat of stain and some matte black paint and they are ready to be of service again.


The chairs were solid with just some wear in few places. First step was a good cleaning with Dixie Belle white lightning cleaner, rinsed and dried.


I wanted to deepen the stain color of the seat and seeing the original finish was in great condition I was able to apply colonial black Dixie Belle No Pain Gel Stain applied with an Dixie Belle applicator pad over it. See the original finish above left and the coat of black stain before wiping back on the right.


I decided to wipe the colonial black Dixie Belle No Pain Gel Stain over all surfaces of the stools. The stain was left to dry well.


The chair bases and backs were painted in the ever classic black called anchor from the Dixie Belle silk mineral paint line. It was brushed on with a small oval Dixie Belle synthetic brush. After the first coat dried a second coat was applied.

Here are some other gorgeous anchor projects.

A Dixie Belle sanding sponge was then was lightly rubbed on all surfaces to make sure the paint was super smooth. Wiping with a soft cloth removes and sanding dust.
