I have wanted to paint my Restore China Cabinet since I purchased it a year ago.
I FINALLY did it! I wanted it red...but it evolved into a red-ish piece, heavily glazed with black.
I used Para "Cherries Jubilee" velvet paint made into homemade chalk paint for the base coat.
I think it looks great in my 100 year old home.
The colour in the photo is not accurate, and i find it looks way better in person!
THE BEFORE:
THE INSIDE: Light Aqua "oops" paint
The brass knobs & hinges got a coat of ORB
& I finished it off with something new to me:
"Modern Masters, Decorative Painter's Dead Flat Varnish"
It will not alter the colour, will not yellow, & will not change the sheen on your piece.

So, Do you think I am crazy??

ReplyDeleteA whole lot of work from a working girl. I know how hard it is to work and paint, the result is always so worth it. Thanks for your comment on my blog. I will stop by often.
