Bog Standard Formica Bedside Cabinet



Found this in back room of new house. It's a standard formica/melanine cabinet circa 1980's.

I would say I hate waste, but it's more that I want nice things but have no money. I do, however, have some leftover primer/undercoat/black paint from my table+chair project.

I would like to give it a Chinese twist.

So I will. The sides are bamboo and dragonfly in acrylic.

The front is Chinese Phoenix and Dragon in acrylic enamel. The character in the centre is "xi" which means happiness.

Needs a faux lacquer finish so I'm cracking open the polyurethance once more.

At a cost of absolutely nothing, there was never any big pressure to make it work.

But it does.
