Curve up your cabinets

I decided to add curves and a coat of paint to my grandmother’s old chest of drawers.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• Chalk paint in chosen colours
• Clear wax
• Black wax (optional)*
• Plascon Glaze Coat (optional)
• Paint brushes
• Vinyl stickers (optional)
• Drawer knobs
• Masking tape
• Resin embellishment
• Strong glue (i.e. No More Nails)

---

HERE'S WHAT TO DO

Step 1
Remove all the drawers from the cabinet.

---

Step 2
Mask off area if you are using more than one colour (two-tone cabinet). Paint two coats of each colour and remove masking tape once the paint is dry. Reapply masking tape and paint second colour.

---

Step 3
Glue the resin embellishment onto the desired area and apply two coats of paint.

---

Step 4
(Ignore this step if you are not applying black wax*.) Apply clear wax on embellishment and add some detail with black wax in between curves.

---

Step 5
The inside of my drawers have been stained previously, so I added some leftover vinyl stickers from a previous HouseFinder project to spruce it up. Apply 2 coats of clear wax and wait 24 hours to dry completely.

RESULT

*Black wax gives cabinets an antique look.
