Before & After: This vintage China cabinet got a stunning makeover! From a dated wood finish to a fresh, light purple paint, this piece now brings elegance and charm to the space. Perfectly styled with beautiful wallpaper as a backdrop, it’s a blend of classic design with a modern twist!

I flipped this ugly, yellow China cabinet to a gorgeous, purple beauty! 90% of the job is making sure you prep well, so I’ve linked the products I used here! 

#LTKVideo #LTKHome
And the color is…

PURPLE!! 

Well, really more like a light lavender😜 So light that I couldn’t even tell the paint was coming out on the first coat🤣

It turned out so beautifully and it fits so perfectly in its new home🏠

Part One of flipping this huge yellow china cabinet!

The style of this piece was gorgeous with the bamboo features and unique hardware, but the color was just not it🙅‍♀️

Luckily, my client had a vision that, truthfully, I would’ve never expected would turn out so well. What color do you think we went with??

Some people love painted furniture, and other people act like they want to destroy my business😂 what do you think?

I saved my client thousands of dollars by transforming this old dresser into her dream! 

She spotted the inspiration for this dresser and fell in love, but it had a $4,000 price tag😳 

I was able to create a similar look with the help of an old dresser and some paint!! 

Paint colors used:
Primary- “Easy Green” by @sherwinwilliams 
Secondary - “Pistachio” by @benjaminmoore 
Tertiary - “Raw Silk” by @fusionmineralpaint

Watch me save my client thousands of dollars by transforming this piece into her inspiration photo!! 

I used many projects for this piece, all linked below, to make the vision come to life

Stripping the original finish is a demanding task, but it’s worth the effort for a stunning transformation! While there are various approaches, I prefer to begin with a chemical stripper. It’s a gentler alternative to sanding, especially when working with delicate veneer.

Here are my steps below⬇️
1️⃣Use Jasco Chemical Stripper (or CitriStrip) 
2️⃣Clean residue with Furniture Refinisher & steel wool
3️⃣Let dry, then sand with no less than 150 grit
4️⃣Use Zinsser Wood Bleach to lighten (repeat as needed)
5️⃣Apply desired stain - I used Fusion’s “Golden Pine”
6️⃣Apply protective finish - I used Matte Polyurethane

I completely stripped the dark stain finish off this wooden dresser! My client wanted a more modern, lighter wood stain, so I chose Golden Pine by Fusion.

Step by step of how I stripped the original finish on this dresser! My client wanted a lighter wood stain, so the finish had to go! Many products are used to achieve this kind of look so I’ve linked them below

Should I have kept this wood??🤔 Swipe to see the before➡️➡️

‘Everett’ by @fusionmineralpaint brings out the perfect olive green with rich, earthy undertones. For a touch of shine, I restored the original brass hardware with @barkeepersfriend and some elbow grease!
Loving my new paint sprayer by Wagner!! Makes painting projects so much quicker and always give a smooth finish.

Refinished this classic dresser in Everett by Fusion Mineral Paint, preserving its original hardware to maintain a touch of vintage charm. The deep, earthy green perfectly complements the ornate brass handles, giving the piece a fresh yet timeless look.

I took an old, worn-out wine cabinet and gave it a fresh new look. The "before" photo shows the cabinet looking plain and outdated, with a basic brown finish. I decided to breathe new life into it by painting it a rich, deep burgundy color, as seen in the "after" photo. The new gold knobs add a touch of elegance, and now it’s not just functional but also a stylish piece in my home. The transformation turned out even better than I imagined!

#LTKHome
Go hold with the color “Elderberry” by one of my favorite furniture paint brands, Fusion Mineral Paint! I also got to use my new paint sprayer by Wagner which made this flip go by soooo much quicker! 

#LTKVideo #LTKHome
What better color to paint a wine cabinet than the color of wine itself??!!🍷

I used the color “Elderberry” by Fusion Mineral Paint to transform this side of the road find!

In this photo, you can see a dresser I refinished. The top part labeled "Before" shows the dresser with its original dark, glossy finish, which had a somewhat dated look. The bottom part labeled "After" showcases the dresser after I used a technique called faux wood grain to make it look like real wood.

To achieve this effect, I first sanded down the entire piece to remove the old finish and smooth out the surface. I then applied a base coat of paint in a light, neutral tone. Once the base coat was dry, I used a oil-based stain to create realistic wood grain patterns by dragging a chip brush through the stain applied over the base coat. This technique gave the dresser a fresh, natural wood appearance, transforming its overall look.

In this photo, you can see a table I worked on. The top part labeled "Before" shows the table in its original state. It had a worn, glossy finish with visible scratches and marks. The bottom part labeled "After" shows the table after I refinished it. Now, it has a faux wood grain finish to create the look of real wood grain but the durability of paint and stain products

I recently undertook a project to refurbish an old desk. The "Before" image shows the desk in its original state: worn, with a rough surface and dull finish. After some hard work sanding, painting, and refinishing, the "After" image reveals the transformed desk. It now boasts a sleek, dark paint on the frame and drawers, with a polished wooden top. The new brass knobs add a touch of elegance, making the desk look modern and stylish. I'm thrilled with how it turned out!

I found this vintage dresser, and I knew it had potential for a stunning transformation. The 'before' photo on the left shows the dresser in its original state with a worn-out brown finish and dated hardware. After some careful refinishing and updating, the 'after' photo on the right reveals the dramatic change. I painted it a deep, rich green and replaced the hardware with sleek, modern handles. The new color and hardware completely revitalized the piece, giving it a fresh and elegant look. Now, it's a standout feature in my room, and I love how it turned out!

In the 'before' photo at the top, you can see the sideboard in its original state—plain and somewhat worn. After some careful work, including stripping, sanding, and refinishing, the 'after' photo at the bottom showcases the new look. I chose a sleek black finish for the frame and maintained the rich wood tone for the doors and drawers, adding new hardware for a modern touch. This makeover has given the sideboard a contemporary and sophisticated appearance, making it a standout piece in my home.

I wanted to breathe new life into an old dresser, and I couldn't be happier with the results! In the 'before' photo at the top, you can see the dresser in its original state—painted white and showing its age with some wear and tear. After some careful stripping, sanding, and refinishing, the 'after' photo at the bottom showcases the transformation. I opted for a two-tone finish, with a sleek black frame and natural wood drawers that highlight the beautiful grain. The new look really modernizes the piece, and it's now a stunning addition to my space

#LTKHome
I recently gave some nightstands a makeover, and I'm thrilled with the results! In the 'before' photo on the left, you can see the nightstands in their original dark wood finish. They were functional but looked a bit dated. After some refinishing, which you can see in the 'after' photo on the right, they now have a fresh, faux linen look that really brightens up the room. It's amazing what a little bit of work can do to transform furniture!
