Sideboard

Another example of using cane webbing while upcycling the furniture. This time I removed the original glass and replaced it with cane webbing plus a piece of chipboard as a base. It is amazing how it totally changed the style of this sideboard.

In order to create contrast with the light color of cane webbing, I decided to go for a darker paint: Oakham from Fusion Mineral Paint. Rooted in grey, this dark neutral is balanced in its warm brown and bronze undertones. I kept the top of the sideboard unpainted and paint washed it in off-white before sealing it with a matt varnish.

I added new hardware - handles - in brushed gold. I like their rounded edges. Here is the link.

I painted the chipboard which was used to attach the cane webbing with the same paint as the rest of the sideboard (actually, I painted the whole inside part of the doors) - but I thought it looked rather empty. I decided to decorate it with subtle stencil using gold paint matching the hardware.
