Today we have a makeover of a tall cabinet that I recently finished for a client. \u00a0It is a beautiful piece and very stately.<\/p>\n

Here is the before picture:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let me just say it upfront that this cabinet has been painted. \u00a0I know some of you will think this is sacrilege but I will refer you to my earlier post about where I stand on painting furniture – Painting Furnture: Felony or Awesome<\/a>. \u00a0After reading that you will know that I paint for a reason.<\/p>\n

As you can see from the next picture, the cabinet was in rough shape. \u00a0There were a lot of dings and some missing trim. \u00a0Fine. But the most important thing? \u00a0There was layers and layers of grooves and trim work. \u00a0It is all beautiful but very time consuming to strip. \u00a0Very time consuming.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I arrived to see the cabinet for the first time, the client was prepared with pictures to show me of what she was looking for. \u00a0I would love to take credit for the after but she really knew what she wanted. \u00a0I suggested we use CeCe Caldwell’s paints in Vermont Slate with a wax finish. \u00a0Why? \u00a0There is no need to sand or prime which eliminated damage from a sander (or my arms falling off from hand sanding!). \u00a0Because this paint bonds so well, we wouldn’t have to worry about sanding every nook and cranny to make sure we got good adhesion. \u00a0 The wax gives a sort of depth to the finish \u00a0so it would keep an old world feel.<\/p>\n

It was also her idea to add the antique looking gold stencil to give the doors some detail. \u00a0I should really hire her to consult!<\/p>\n

So here is the after:<\/p>\n

And some close ups.<\/p>\n

Thank you Theresa for letting work on this beauty!<\/p>\n
