Black Antique Aged China Cabinet.......



I had this antique china cabinet made by Rockford Furniture in 
my inventory since the beginning of the year.  I listed it in the very good as is condition. 
As you can see above.  It did't sell as is.  



So I removed the glass cabinet doors on the front.


Keeping the doors and will be painting them soon.


Sealed in the punch locks on the bottom and top that locked the door in place.


I painted it in black and distressed the edges.




Sealed in a sprayed flat sealer.



Kept hardware original.







Shelves are all removable.  Top doesn't detach though, it's all one piece.



SOLD!

Vintage Updated China Cabinet without the Hutch...


I loved how unique and gorgeous this buffet was.
It was a china cabinet but didn't like the hutch.
The hutch sat inside of it.  Before above.  I was going to keep the 
original hardware , but when I was taking them off one broke.
I decided to replace the hardware with the ones shown below.


Added a plank top.


Painted it in Joanna Gaines Magnolia
chalk paint in Regal Leaf.  A beautiful forest green.
All in a clean finish.  I didn't think any distressing would 
compliment this piece at all.



Stained the plank in a custom mix of driftwood and provincial.


I wanted a lighter more natural tone without too much yellow.


We added 6 new wood feet to give it more height.
It was 27" high from the beginning.  Now it's 32"high.
Also, extremely sturdy.



painted the inside cabinet also.  


Didn't paint the side cabinet areas.


Sealed everything in a flat sprayed sealer.


Available! Message if interested.

Farmhouse French White China Cabinet Hutch....


I snagged this french china hutch online
and had time to chalk paint it.  John has been 
extremely busy all week stripping pieces 
for client orders.  Next week I'll be busy 
painting those pieces.  The weather here in Houston, TX
has been horrible for painting.  Dry time takes forever.
Although, chalk paint drys a lot quicker than latex.
Which is why I chose to paint this one in chalk paint.
Here's the before below. 


Added a new back board.


Added chicken wire because the middle 
glass was missing.  Plus, I wanted a more farmhouse look.





Painted it all white and distressed edges.



Smooth no brush stroke chalk painted finish.



I painted hardware in dark bronze.





Excellent size, it's not too big but not
to small either.


Kept bottom inside natural.


Has so much storage for it not being
so big.






I'm so in love with this piece!  I would love to 
keep it but I already have my buffet I refinished 😐
This is currently available for purchase.

Buffet & China Cabinet in Dark Navy.....


New client contacted me thru my blog and wanted me
to custom paint her antique buffet & china cabinet (hutch).
She viewed my blog for a bit and picked the custom navy
blue with antiquing I've done with Annie Sloan.
I custom mixed the color (sometimes I don't quite remember the 
exact measurements so I have play with it).
Before picture of the buffet below. 


After I custom painted it and antiqued it (no distressing)
pictures below.





Smooth thin finish. 


I kept the hardware original.  She left that up to me.


She just wanted me to do what I do basically.
Said she loved my work and trusted my artistry.


She wanted the inside painted.











I just love this look!
Next, was the hutch.
Before pictures below.


Same color and finish as the buffet above.







She wanted everything painted, so we took
 apart everything.





Painted the inside top and bottom parts.





My smooth thin finish.



It takes a whole lot of time, paint, and work 
to get these looks I do.  I mean lots of work.
The detailing, numerous coats of paint I do 
but in the end, I always always always love the outcome.
Plus, the bonus is the clients reaction when they see it 💝
