As soon as I saw this vintage piece of furniture lying around in my mother-in-law’s basement, I fell in love with it. We were really lucky because she gave it to my partner and me when we bought our first house.<\/span><\/p>\n Since then, he has followed us everywhere, but this is the first time that I can really say that he has found his place!<\/span><\/p>\n We can say that this piece of furniture has undergone revaluations: a TV stand in the 50s – 60s, a bar in the 70s – 80s, including a storage unit, a toy box with the arrival of my first child… In short, he had quite an experience before I started his makeover and proudly installed him in my new dining room!<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Produits utilis\u00e9s” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Development” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”8px||31px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/meuble-tele-1.jpg” alt=”vintage furniture” title_text=”tv cabinet” admin_label=”photo apr\u00e8s” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”65%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”\u00c9tapes” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”||2px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Who says several lives, says several coats of paint! Brown, beige, white, yellow\u2026 There was definitely a lot of preparation and several hours of work ahead of me!<\/span><\/p>\n So, I started with the first step and not the least: sanding the top. I absolutely wanted to find raw wood even though I knew it wouldn’t be easy.<\/span><\/p>\n Then comes the fun part, painting!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ***With my lack of experience, I applied way too much wax and on top of that I didn’t buff it, so the wax took a full month before it dried completely. But in the end, the result was still superb… I really liked the finish that the wax provided, even if I admit that I prefer working with the Colorantic matte varnish<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Finished Product” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”8px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Conclusion” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Today, with the purchase of a new house, this vintage piece of furniture has become an integral part of our dining room. I love its vintage chic side and I absolutely don’t miss the days when it was bright yellow overflowing with my children’s toys!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I would eventually like to add a wooden shelf to display my collection of vintage glasses and vases which, for the moment, is stored on the top floor due to lack of space.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#f32027″ text_font_size=”16px” custom_padding=”52px||22px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nThe products used<\/b><\/h3>\n
