At first glance, this china cabinet looks like it didn't need a makeover.
But, on further inspection, it had some major issues. The veneer on one side was in terrible shape. I removed the veneer then used Swamp Mud from the Dixie Belle Paint Company to patch any bad areas. I sanded the Swamp Mud smooth after I let it dry overnight. Then it was time to paint!
I used the color, Caviar, by Dixie Belle to paint the china cabinet. On the front panels, I did a blending effect with the colors Caviar, Manatee, & Fluff.
I waxed the panels with Clear Wax then I added Black Wax to soften the look a little more. I used a wax brush to apply the wax, then used a rag to smooth it out.
I changed the knob to this beautiful one from Hobby Lobby.
I also added an Iron Orchid Design image transfer to the glass.
The IOD transfers are so easy. Just rub onto your surface with the tool provided in the package, then peel up the plastic backing.
Anybody else love Caviar?
