Beautiful Sideboard/Buffet Redesign With Paint Couture and Iflex
Beautiful Sideboard redesign using Paint Couture Paint, metallics and Iflex wood moldings.
Painted in Paint couture custom color Navy. This beauty was rough so leaving it natural wasn't an option. I'm loving this deep rich color.
It's always hard to tell in photos but this piece is deceiving, it wasn't in good enough condition to restore, the veneer was scratched, dry and chipping.
The top had seen a better day, it had so much damage that stripping it down was the only option.
Have I mentioned how much I love, love, love my Bosch sander? I call her "The Beast" she made this job easy peasy!
Adding some Iflex wood molding to give this piece some extra beauty!
I use Titebond Quick & Thick as my adhesive of choice. It truly does bond quick and is thick enough to attach these permanently.
I add a generous amount of Titebond to the back of the piece then use a small craft brush to spread it evenly over the surface
The doors on this piece are curved, that's no problem for the Iflex wood molding products. Just use a hairdryer or a heat gun and heat them up. Once they are heated they will conform to any shape. When they have cooled the shape is now permanent.
I used painter's tape to secure the Iflex in place, you can also use clamps. This is only needed to allow the titebond to cure.
You can see the attached Iflex moldings all set up and ready to be painted. Aren't these Iflex moldings gorgeous?
As you can see that once you get a coat of paint on these Iflex moldings look like they were original to the piece.
I am in love with this top. I used two coats of Paint Couture Van Dyke Glaze then added two coats of Paint Couture Weathered Wood. I'm loving the deep depths of tones on this gorgeous top.
This finished beauty is now ready for a new life. I used all Paint Couture products, a custom Paint Couture Navy, copper metallic for the details and hardware, I used the Paint Couture Van Dyke Glaze as well as Weathered wood for the top and Iflex Moldings for the extra details.

The flexible moldings (?) you added really enhance the look of the buffet. It's beautiful. I love the color and everything about it. In the wrong hands that piece could look garish. Great job. 💕💕

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Same question as Lori...what about the old veneer? Did the top have a veneer surface too?
Did you sand the entire piece before you painted? I have a similar buffet but it is in great condition so I did not know if I should sand the whole piece before painting
how do you restore oak cupboards'
