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.

Clay Painted Plant Pot


I have one last plant pot makeover to share with you. This ceramic pot was glossy and had white and red dots that did not go with my decor so an easy fix was to paint it pretty.


Here is is with a couple other pre scrub. Always scrub your painted pieces well to be sure it is free of all things that may interfere with the process.


It is scrubbed dry and ready to be transformed.


The secret to painting shiny smooth glossy surfaces is Dixie Belle Slick Stick. This product allows paint to stick to anything.

Stir well (I use chopsticks we always seem to have in excess). 


Brush on 2 coats then let dry 24 hours.

I had an assembly line of projects for this step; a jumbo cup/saucer, and a jumbo cup 


I wanted to add some more texture to the pot so stippled on Dixie Belle Terra Clay Paint in desert tan with a Dixie Belle premium chip brush. Stir these clay paints well before applying.


Then on went onyx Dixie Belle Terra Clay Paint. I stippled with the chip brush till the coverage was to my liking. Then the pot was left to dry well.


The surface was sealed with a clean Dixie Belle premium chip brush with Dixie Belle Terra Tuff.


This sealer ahs a bit more shine then the matte Dixie Belle Terra Seal.

    What a wonderful transformation of cup/saucer and pots that didn't fit your decor. Bringing new life into old things is a gift. Well done.
