A Festive Before and After!

Well, hi!

I’m so excited to share this stunning transformation with you…

We recently restyled this antique record cabinet using the colour Robin from the Mango Paint line—and we just LOVE how she turned out!

Take a look at her before we got started…as you can see, she needed a LOT of TLC:

Robin was the perfect colour choice—a rich red to make update this poor piece into a statement piece.

We knew we would never be able to fix her up and make her perfect, so we decided to use that as our inspiration and let her imperfections be the star.

By giving her a heavy distress and sealing her with the Mango Paint antique beeswax, we were really able to accentuate all of her rustic details!

The best advice we always give for restyling old furniture is to let it’s character shine through. Sometimes, trying to make a vintage or well loved piece look perfect or brand new makes the finished product feel a little “out of place”.

So don’t be afraid paint a statement piece and let it tell it’s own story!

Happy Painting!
