French 20's China Cabinet

Last week I got a call from a customer who wanted a piece of furniture painted. She had a 1920's china cabinet with a dull finish and wanted it transformed into a painted French piece with ornate detail. When I picked the piece up, it looked like this...

I really liked the detail work at the top and on the side panels. I decided to paint the piece my own mixture of mostly off-white, with a touch of gray. Then I added a mixture of brown and gold metallic to the edges and some of the trim. Finally, I dark waxed the piece and buffed it out with a soft cloth. The customer was very happy with the finished product.

Now this beauty sits proudly in her home on Dog River.
