TOUCHING UP PAINT ON A BLACK & GOLD DISTRESSED POWDER ROOM CABINET WITH VESSEL SINK

 A couple of years ago, my cient was building a new home and asked if I would paint a chest for one of her powder rooms.  It was a chest that her grandfather had built and she wanted to make a special place for it in her new home.

 

 It was stained brown.  She wanted me to paint it black and distressed a little so the brown wood would show through the black paint.  And, she wanted me to paint some metallic gold designs on the front to match the designs in the very beautiful wallpaper.

The distressed black with the wood tones showing through were to match the faux wood vessel sink that she had picked out to sit on top of the cabinet.

Yesterday and today I went back to touch up some water damage behind the sink.  The water was splashing evenly behind the sink in two spots and the paint was wrinkling.  I guess the water was splashing out when the faucet was turned on.

I scraped off the loose black paint, then painted and sealed it and now it looks really good again.

I painted it a little differently this time, but they will let me know if it holds up.

Water should never stand on a painted surface!!

In this case, it is a dark room and black paint so you couldn't see what was happening behind the sink.

I had sealed it really well and several coats of wax, but that didn't hold up.

This is her very beautiful powder room.  

Oops!! I didn't mean for me to be in the picture!

Also, the beautiful wide stairwell is visible, but that wall is not really blue.  It's beigy like the rest of the walls.  Somehow it turned blue in the mirror.  

The glass in the mirror is an antiqued glass, so that might be the reason it looks blue.

This is a hall chest right outside of that powder room.  I painted it for the new house, too.  Today, it had two little tiny scratches, so I touched them up while I was there and resealed the top.

I will always come back and touch up if anything happens to the furniture or cabinets that I've painted.

I took pictures of the mantel that I had painted and her kitchen island and will share them with you next.  You won't believe the size of her kitchen!!  

This is a very, very beautiful 15,000 sq. ft. house. 

It is amazing!!
