A Soldier Blue Milk Paint Cabinet with a White Wax Finish

January 24, 2014 By Reeves @ The Weathered Door Leave a Comment

 

 

I love the uniqueness of this piece, both the fronts flip down and the top lift open as well. It was previously a stereo cabinet, but now it can be almost anything – a bar, a desk, or just to hide keys and papers in an entryway. Its milk paint finish has so much variation and the white wax brings out the wood grain and carved details. I removed the speaker (after I had taken pictures) and lined with inside with some pretty paper, so it’s ready to find a new home and serve a new purpose.

    I absolutely LOVE this piece!!! If I could, I would buy it in a heartbeat . . . lost my job in December so goodies like this will have to wait, but I will continue to watch and if I keep my fingers crossed, maybe it will still be available when I get back to work! Hugs ~
