Before As Well As After: Mid-Century Modern Cabinet

 

My latest uncovering was a mid-century modern cabinet which originally came from a local fine art gallery, it was inwards petroleum form alongside actually dry out forest veneer as well as a broken door. Not exclusively was the door broken, merely I afterwards discovered that the entire unit of measurement was warped (including the door). Andrew ended upwardly sanding off a pocket-size department of the door as well as hence it could unopen smoothly, he also had to clamp it to a apartment surface to right the warp every bit much every bit possible. Off theme – how cute is that tiny lock inwards a higher identify the handle!

The entire cabinet was primed alongside several coats of white, it was crazy how much the one-time forest veneer soaked upwardly the pigment similar a sponge. iii coats later, the surface was finally railroad train for me to apply the in conclusion coat. I used Benjamin Moore Advance series. This pigment is perfect for furniture, it’s high-gloss as well as self levelling, allowing for a really polish complete when applied alongside a mini roller. For this projection I used Snowfall White as well as Tropicana Cabana.

I liked i of my previous makeovers as well as hence much I decided to acquire alongside that trend as well as pigment the interior blue, it’s a squeamish agency to add together color without existence likewise obnoxious.
The legs were inwards decent plenty status as well as hence I opted to exit them forest if they ended upwardly having similar forest tones every bit the door i time the old stain was removed. The door was an issue, I removed the handle, merely sadly a big chunk of the forest veneer came off alongside it, because it was screwed on every bit good every bit glued alongside some form of super glue! At this indicate I persuasion sure as shooting at that topographic point was no agency nosotros could salve the forest door. There was a big hole that needed to survive filled as well as patently it wasn’t going to check the master copy veneer, as well as hence I persuasion nosotros had to pigment it, at that topographic point was no other option. Andrew persuasion nosotros could sand it downwards as well as set a broad receive over it to attempt as well as enshroud it, merely after trying that, nosotros knew it would nevertheless survive visible, addition it would also await similar nosotros were trying to enshroud it.

We both actually wanted to salve the forest grain, as well as hence I searched approximately for some ideas…and couldn’t uncovering anything I loved as well as that would move for this situation. After some experimenting I decided to acquire alongside a leather door pull. I grabbed an one-time leather belt from the local thrift shop as well as some brass screws from Home Depot as well as figured it out from there. It was fairly uncomplicated to brand as well as I intend it turned out pretty good! The best part, it sits apartment against the door as well as hides all the imperfections from the one-time handle!

Once the door was coated alongside tung oil as well as the drawer describe was attached, it all came together. We kept the legs forest fifty-fifty though they were lighter, it picks upwardly the lighter tones inwards the grain on the door as well as it’s a squeamish contrast to all the white.
