Hello blogger friends! I hope you are doing well. I’ve been having trouble getting pictures off of my camera, but finally I found a solution and can start sharing the pieces I just finished last week and carried to the shop.
First, I like to share this Victrola cabinet redo. Here’s the after.
When I first saw this piece I knew I wanted to save the beautiful woodwork on the front. The top and sides had some issues that would have required expensive veneer replacement.
Here is the before that I shared with you when I gave you a preview of my kitchen before renovation.
I totally stripped all the front panels on the Victrola. Actually, I hand sanded them which took quite awhile. I then painted all the other areas in Annie Sloans “Old White” and the trim was painted with gold Rub & Buff.
The top of the cabinet is where the actual Victrola was originally. It had already been removed and a new bottom put in and then lined in felt. I removed the old piece of felt and replaced it with new in a royal blue.
The inside top was sanded down and finished with a clear gloss polyurethane.
I then painted the inside with a beautiful matching royal blue paint I already had in stock.
The outside top was painted with “Old White” and I then applied a pretty stencil I special ordered to the top with the gold Rub & Buff.
After that I waxed and distressed everything painted “Old White” using a clear soft wax. When that had dried I applied another coat of wax and buffed lightly.
For that gorgeous veneer on front I applied three coats of clear gloss polyurethane.
I love the juxtaposition of the old chalk paint finish and the high gloss finish of the veneer.
This piece would be great as a storage cabinet for a dining room or any room. You could store silverware or jewelry in the top.
I’m so glad someone decided to save this old cabinet it would have been a shame to just throw it out!
Thanks for stopping by and have a good week.
