Before In Addition To After: Mid-Century Modern Cabinet
My latest detect was a mid-century modern cabinet which originally came from a local fine art gallery, it was inward stone oil shape alongside actually dry out forest veneer together with a broken door. Not exclusively was the door broken, precisely I later on discovered that the entire unit of measurement was warped (including the door). Andrew ended upward sanding off a minor department of the door together with therefore it could unopen smoothly, he also had to clamp it to a apartment surface to right the warp equally much equally possible. Off theme – how cute is that tiny lock higher upward the handle!
The entire cabinet was primed alongside several coats of white, it was crazy how much the former forest veneer soaked upward the pigment similar a sponge. three coats later, the surface was finally laid upward for me to apply the lastly coat. I used Benjamin Moore Advance series. This pigment is perfect for furniture, it’s high-gloss together with self levelling, allowing for a really polish complete when applied alongside a mini roller. For this projection I used Snowfall White together with Tropicana Cabana.
I liked i of my previous makeovers together with therefore much I decided to acquire alongside that vogue together with pigment the interior blue, it’s a prissy means to add together color without beingness also obnoxious.
The legs were inward decent plenty status together with therefore I opted to acquire out them forest if they ended upward having similar forest tones equally the door i time the old stain was removed. The door was an issue, I removed the handle, precisely sadly a big chunk of the forest veneer came off alongside it, because it was screwed on equally good equally glued alongside some form of super glue! At this betoken I sentiment sure enough at that spot was no means nosotros could relieve the forest door. There was a big hole that needed to live filled together with plainly it wasn’t going to agree the master copy veneer, together with therefore I sentiment nosotros had to pigment it, at that spot was no other option. Andrew sentiment nosotros could sand it downward together with set a broad handgrip over it to endeavor together with shroud it, precisely after trying that, nosotros knew it would nevertheless live visible, addition it would also await similar nosotros were trying to shroud it.
We both actually wanted to relieve the forest grain, together with therefore I searched unopen to for some ideas…and couldn’t detect anything I loved together with that would operate for this situation. After some experimenting I decided to acquire alongside a leather door pull. I grabbed an former leather belt from the local thrift shop together with some brass screws from Home Depot together with figured it out from there. It was fairly uncomplicated to brand together with I intend it turned out pretty good! The best part, it sits apartment against the door together with hides all the imperfections from the former handle!

Once the door was coated alongside tung oil together with the drawer line was attached, it all came together. We kept the legs forest fifty-fifty though they were lighter, it picks upward the lighter tones inward the grain on the door together with it’s a prissy contrast to all the white.
