Ethan Allen China Cabinet Makeover

Hi Friends!

I hope you had a wonderful week! We spent some time in Ocean City, NJ on our annual family trip. The weather was wonderful and it was so nice to hear the waves and relax in the sun. I also started reading a really good book called Live Love Now. If you have teens or know teens that you want to connect with better, I highly recommend it! I’ve learned so much from it already and wish I had read it years ago.

This week’s makeover is from a dear client/friend. She was moving and couldn’t fit this armoire into her new house so she reached out to see if we’d be interested in it. It’s an Ethan Allen china cabinet so it was well made, but didn’t quite have the look I liked. Here it is before:

We painted the box with Benjamin Moore black, but my favorite part about the makeover was that we sanded and stained the drawers and doors to show the beautiful grain that was hiding behind the dark stain color.

Ready for the afters?

This china cabinet was snatched up by a design client so it’s not for sale, but I still wanted to share the transformation.
