The lifecycle of a piece of refinished vintage furniture.

While I can't share all my secrets, I find it fascinating to compare the before and after of a piece of furniture I've refinished...in this case a china cabinet. I documented the refinishing of this piece through pictures, and hope you'll love watching the transformation as much as I loved working on it.


This is my new friend, the china cabinet, in it's earliest form: dark, dingy, and, in my opinion, rather ugly.

Here it is with a coat of primer...

...after one coat of paint... ...two coats of paint and new hardware...
...and, finally, all done in better lighting.
It's a fun process...and even better when the end redult is as gorgeous as this!


Any questions? Shoot me an email at greennest@verizon.net, I'm here to help!
