DECORATIVE POSSIBILITIES OF VARNISH
Shining look
Thanks to a new black velvet plate surface under a glass in a lacquered wooden frame, the serving table will find a second life.
1. The filigree frame, in which there used to be a tile, and the table legs should be cleaned of old polish using emery paper.
2. To enhance the shade of oak, you first need to put on the tree a light oak stain. The stain should be applied raw to damp.

COUNTRY Idyll
Do you want to give your furniture a rustic country style? You will need paint of two shades and shading.
1. Prime the cabinet with white acrylic lacquer. Pre-tree should be slightly sanded and well cleaned from dust.
2. Apply color varnish with a brush and shading on a wet varnish. Repeat after 2 minutes.
3. The trick for the edges: hold a lint-free cloth on the freshly coated lacquer edges, so the locker will find a special charm.
TONING INSTEAD OF VARNISH
Color stain is well absorbed into the tree, giving it the desired shade and leaving the structure visible. So that the coating does not crack, the stain must be covered with a protective layer of clear varnish.
1. With the help of a coating remover, you can remove old varnish. After that, the tree is well washed and dried.
2. Dry stain carefully diluted in hot water to the desired shade.
3. After the stain has been absorbed into the tree, giving it the desired color, remove the excess with a sponge.
4. From the crevices or cracks of the tree, the stain can be removed with the help of a rolled-up paper towel, which will absorb the excess.
5. After drying, the blue wax can be polished with a waxing brush (with small pieces of leather between the bristles).
6. To dry the dried wood stain with a protective layer of a transparent varnish. Tip: it is better to cover the vertical surfaces with the stain from the bottom up, so there will be less “steps”.

Old cabinet decor
Friends as unnecessary gave me the old locker. Drove him to the cottage. Before using the furniture for its intended purpose, I decided to update it a little. Here's what I got.
Husband sanders removed old lacquer from all cabinet surfaces. Then I plastered the bumps (1 photo).
The main idea of the decor is fabulous nature. I thought over drawing of a tree and forest animals. Start with a tree. She drew a sketch on paper, cut it out, put the template on the bottom of the cabinet and traced a pencil around the contour. Then draw the missing elements (photo 2)
Toilet paper, twisted into bundles, laid out the outline of the picture (photo 3), sticking the details on the PVA. Inner space filled with papier mashé (photo 4)
The upper part of the cabinet was decorated outside with putty patterns (photo 5). put it through a stencil, and inside sanding the surface under the printouts of drawings. Last stuck to the walls and varnished (photo 6)
First, the oak was painted in a dark brown color, then another two coats of paint were applied (each subsequent layer is a lighter tone). Picked up oak leaves. I put them on cold porcelain that was rolled out in a thin layer and cut them out. Total needed 65 blanks. She covered them with watercolors of different colors and fixed them with the help of PVA glue on the branches of the tree (photo 7)
On the second door of putty and paper prints with the image of animals performed a colorful composition (photo 8) All secured with colorless varnish.
The bottom of the locker from the inside painted in light green color. A wardrobe from a fairy tale is ready. As such, it has become a great decoration of the dressing room.

When free time appeared, I updated my old cupboard that I inherited from my grandmother. In order for the furniture to "look younger", it took several segments of colored fabric and a bit of fantasy.
Because of the broken hinges, the upper doors of the cabinet had to be removed. Instead, the curtains hung. Cut two pieces of colored fabric of the right size (each in half a section) with an allowance. On the top edge of each canvas formed a drawstring, and on the side edges performed a hem. Ready blinds on a rope fixed on the locker. Left the middle section open.
The fastening of the lower doors was still strong, so they did not remove them, and so that they were in harmony with the upper part, decorated with the same fabric. Cut out two octagon blanks from cardboard. Thermogun glued to the same plane of each layer of padding polyester. I wrapped it in a cloth and fastened it around the center of the doors with small studs. By the same principle, I made a “crown” for the locker.

Bored with the kitchen furniture was still in excellent condition and buying a new one did not see the point. She decided to radically change her appearance.
The facades neatly removed from the hinges and unscrew the handles. Degreased the details. Sanding each paper with fine abrasivity with sandpaper. Dust removed with a damp cloth. Primed with acrylic primer. Painted in light green color. Dried out. The liked image of flowers printed on several sheets in the required size. Transferred the drawing to the facades. Painted it with acrylic paints. Dried out. Covered with two layers of varnish with intermediate drying.
