Yes! I painted a Mahogany china cabinet that was perfect and beautiful as it was!
Oh the humanity 😱
Ok, all sarcasm aside...this china cabinet was truly gorgeous in its original condition no doubt about it.

I found it on Facebook Marketplace for $100.
The owner had stored it in their outdoor shed for the past many years. It was covered in mold and mildew, but other than that it was in great shape all things considered.
It's sat neglected in my shop for the past year and a half because I've not had the time to mess with it.
BUT when Maker's Challenge Central announced that the theme for season 5 of The Furniture Flip Challenge was "Make It Shine," I knew that now was the perfect time to blow the dust off this piece and well....make it shine.
It took two and a half weeks for me to complete this beauty - though I don't know exactly how many hours I put in. I completed it just in the nick of time to enter it into the contest. At the time I'm posting this video, a winner hasn't been announced.
But contest or not, I'm thrilled with the way this china cabinet turned out. It might be my favorite piece I've ever painted.
I used Fine Paints of Europe Hollandlac Brilliant in the color G20010. (This color is really similar to Sherwin Williams Grandview and Benjamin Moore Lehigh Green).
The gold leafed back adds a warm, subtle glow that enhances the beauty of the china without distracting.
The new hardware is from Van Dykes Restorers www.vandykes.com/restorers-cl...
