Black Cabinet....
I found this claw foot antique cabinet
years ago. Never had time to get to it.
But, now that I’ve took this year off
of customer orders.. I’m finally
getting to my pieces that I have been
wanting to get too.
It was missing one board on the side.
Both shelves where gone inside also.
I added new knobs to the top small drawer.
I made some slat shelves and I wanted them
to be very knotty. So I tried to pick the worst
ones at the hardware store.
Stained the slats in a dark stain. The sealed those in
general finishes flat high performance.
Painted the outside of the cabinets in
a black with distressed edges.
Added some antiquing to it with dark wax.
Also added new handles to the cabinet doors.
Then added chicken wire and painted that black too.
Oh and added some magnetic closures.
This would be perfect for a coffee bar.
Or just for books in the living room.

Antique Cabinet Painted For Client.....
A new client who has been following me for a few
years contacted us for a custom painted order.
She had this old antique cabinet her dad had given here mom
years ago. It was heavily stained and chipping away. Her mom's
birthday was coming up and wanted to surprise her with it
custom painted in a new look.
Here is the before below.
We stripped and sanded it all down.
She picked a color from Benjamin moore.
I painted it a chocolate brown,
Added some glass knobs I had in our workshop.
Below in the picture you can see the date her
father scratched in the day he gave it to her mother.
She loved it, I think it's beautiful!
