distressed cabinet
Sometimes, all a piece of furniture needs is a coat of paint, some glaze and a little sanding to give it new life, so that’s exactly what I did to this cabinet. It’s pretty heavy and I love the shutter doors, but even though the wood was in great shape, it had an orange tint to it, so it was time to get to sanding. Here is the piece before:
After sanding, I brushed on a coat of primer, followed by a light coat of turquoise (Benjamin Moore’s Poolside Blue). A coat of ICI Wexford Gray, followed by a tinted glaze tones down the blue-gray and gives it depth. Here it is after. It still needs some new knobs, but what a difference…
I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
