Custom
Paint wash, stain wash, top coat and SW Creamy paint color.
This cabinet needed lots of love. It was filthy, damaged, and had an extension added to the top cabinet, that did not match the existing frame. We started by removing the add-on and stripped off the old varnish. We sanded it all down and repaired the damage. Next we paint washed and stain washed the outside of the cabinet and applied a high-performance top coat. The inside of the top cabinet was painted a creamy white and paired with the antique glass doors, its one of a kind! This cabinet is massive! Over 100 inches in length, it has plenty of storage. I'm using it as a book/display case. Hopefully it will have another 100 years to shine!
