MCM Credenza
Time to switch things up. In the LA area, these mid century credenzas are quite
the hot ticket item. But to find one on the cheap is rare. But I did.
I believe these retro vintage pieces look best either natural or bold colors of the era. I gave this one both. Tangerine baby! Now I realize this style isnt for everyone. I dont think its necessarily for
me. But that doesnt mean I dont appreciate it or enjoy working on it. Its different.
I get so tired of doing the same thing on the same pieces. I like to mix it up and try
out different techniques and different colors. So, here ya go!
I could not save the sides or top.
Solid wood legs. Bottom is before, middle is after sanding and the top is after staining.
This walnut veneer finished up beautifully! Look how it pops w/the orange.
I used at least 5 coats of paint and 2 coats of acrylic semi-gloss top coat. I rolled a few coats
didnt like how it looked, and finished by brushing on the last 2 coats. I also sanded between
each coat.
I thought about lugging this into the house for staging, but this beast is heavy and at least 6 long!
So, use your imagination and ignore my icky garage floor.
