I am so happy to have finally completed refurbishing some of the antique pieces I’ve had sitting in my garage over the winter months. I had a bit of free time this past weekend so away I went with my paintbrush. I hope you enjoy the transformation!
Storage Cabinet
I painted this stunningĀ piece a calming blue-green and addedĀ coral knobs for a fun colour contrast. I choseĀ floral knobs to tieĀ into the engraved rose design that was part of the original piece. I also distressed the edges of the unit to give a slight worn-out look. The paint I used is called Opal Silk from CIL Paints and the knobs were from Zara Home.
Jewelry Box Cabinet
I saw this wooden cabinet and knew I wanted to give this piece a bohemian wanderlust designĀ and Turkey was my inspiration. I painted it a striking turquoise colour called Bali Hai from CIL Paint and added these perfectly fitting knobs from Zara Home. The top knobs are ceramic and inspired by Turkish tilesĀ and the bottom knobs are wooden and have a Taj Mahal flare to it.
It’s pretty remarkable what a coat of paint and some inspiration can do to a forgotten yet beautiful piece of furniture.
