Credenza Gets Painted White

Credenza Before

This was a classic Booker Credenza, likely from the 1970s or 1980s. Our customer had wanted a completely different look so she opted to have Jim paint it white. She had selected a soft white to match her decor. Once the paint was chosen and cabinet was in place, 

Jim prepared this large, heavy piece by removing the doors and shelving and then masking the leather detailed doors since they would remain the same. The doors had a really interesting raised leather curved design, which looked great with  the style of furniture that this was.

Once he had everything masked off and ready, he lightly sanded everything then primed it. Once the primer was dry, he carefully painted everything using Benjamin Moore paint in a matte finish. Jim's many years of painting experience comes in real handy for these large paint jobs. For this type of work, spray painting is the best solution. It is even and looks great, without brush strokes. Certain pieces can be brushed well enough, but for larger furniture, spraying is superior. The finished product looked great.
