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.

Floral Bouquet Transfer Accent Table

 

This cute accent table was previously finished by someone but no longer wanted it. I saw total potential to change the color and feature a beautiful floral transfer in the center. How cute would it be in your entry way?



The table had sticky stuff on it needing removal. Then the raised stencil was sanded smooth with my Festool orbital sander.


I chose the gulf Dixie Belle Paint, a pretty sea green color. I started with the table upside down and did the underside applied with a medium oval synthetic brush. The table was them flipped and the top painted.

When this coat was dry I sanded it smooth with a sanding sponge then applied a second coat to the top. Again when dry it was sanded smooth too.


The floral Dixie Belle transfer I chose was king protea. Cut out the pieces and lay them out to find the design you like.

Other transfer projects I have done


Here are the 2 largest pieces in place.


Additional pieces of the transfer collection were laid out then rubbed into place. You can layer transfer pieces too for a more realistic look.


All the transfers were sealed into place with 2 coats of flat clear coat followed by 2 coats of satin clear coat. I use my favorite 2" angled synthetic brush to apply the coats. This will also give the table top added durability.
