    I found this vintage $40 sewing cabinet at the thrift store about 10 years ago but never could make a decision about whether I wanted to paint it or strip and stain it. I finally made a decision: I was going to do both! Follow along as I show you how I took this dreary sewing cabinet and turned it into a pretty piece of furniture for my "she shed" workshop and creative studio!

    I am a wood person and when I saw the wood that you cleaned and sanded. BEAUTIFUL!!! but then when you painted and glued the covering and paint to the cabinet, I could have cried. Covering that beautiful wood. Now if it had flaws and couldn'e be restored, I understand making something out of it, but wood in it's natural form should have been shown/ Just mt thought. It did look cute but wood is better looking.

    You taught me so much, today. I've known for a while that there is colored stain, I thought that was crazy. However, I didn't know that there was a grain wax.
    When you added the paper to the edges, it elevated the piece. I can see myself doing something like that. I can't wait to see the other pink furniture you are planning for your she shed

    I don't love the pink or floral wallpaper, but i love that you did it! I've always been a huge proponent of personalizing furniture and decor in ways that suite your style. Its your house, fill it with things you love! The methods in this DIY are still quite useful for anyone trying to personalize their own piece of furniture.

    Do you know if translucent acrylic inks would work through an airbrush to create a similar effect? Ive got a few bits of old furniture kicking about and now Im kinda in the mood to get some changes going! Looks great and I completely agree on having the grain showing, its such a nice effect!

    • @ThriftDiving
      @ThriftDiving  ปีที่แล้ว

      Oooh, I'm not sure about the acrylic inks. That sounds like something fun to try! I imagine if would, especially if you can get an even finish without the blotchiness. Thank you for watching!
