This TV cabinet was made from particleboard and veneer. Time to give it a modern, industrial look.
1
Cut the curved base with a jigsaw to make it more industrial and boxlike.
2
Took off decorative elements to give a flat surface for the metal faux finish.
3
Two great tools for fitting new hardware. One to measure the new hole locations and the other to mark them out for drilling.
4
The new handles were the inspiration for this faux metal finish cabinet.
5
If a piece is veneer, Slick Stick is a good choice. Used for shiny or laminate surfaces rather than sanding.
6
Coat of primer before painting. This gives a consistent base for paint to apply evenly to.
7
Guided graining tool through Dixie Mud. Made ridges like corrugated iron.
8
Created a stippled look with Steel Magnolia. To give it the look of a tarnished metal door.
9
Then used Silver Bullet, placed for highlights.
10
A.faux metal finish on wood furniture. With several simple steps, the whole piece is completely transformed.
