Nicole’s Mid-Century cabinet was in rough shape with badly worn wood veneer and a dark, brittle interior covered in scuff marks. She really turned this one around.

After damaging the veneer while removing the handle, Nicole rallied and came up with a unique solution to hide the damage: a chic leather pull. Great idea!

From Nicole:

The legs were in fantastic shape and the door had a nice grain. We sanded and oiled the door and legs. The outside was painted with high-gloss Benjamin Moore Snowfall White and the inside was painted Benjamin Moore Tropicana Cabana.

Thank you Nicole!
