Nachttisch im romantischen Rosen-Look

This old bedside table becomes a beautiful balcony furniture with large roses made of motif straw silk and with self-cast ornaments. It defies wind and weather thanks to a weatherproof seal.

Here's how it works

Sand the entire cabinet, wipe off the sander dust.
A glaze with a lot of water from Umbra gebr., Sienna gebr. and little Black produce. Apply several times with a sponge until the desired shade is achieved
Then apply an antique white glaze twice and finally a covering layer of antique white.
Important: Sand the cabinet after each coat and also at the end, wipe off the sanding dust each time.
Cut out the different motifs from Straw silk paper and arrange them according to your taste, stick them on with Napkin varnish .
Mix the relief casting compound according to the manufacturer's instructions and pour it into the casting mould
Important: The casting compound must be stirred into the water - not the other way round - to avoid lumps.
Knock the mould flat on a towel after about 30 minutes and remove the ornaments. Then immediately deburr and smooth the edges with a scalpel and Sandpaper .
Now paint the ornaments with a dark glaze, wipe the edges of the ornaments with a dry cloth and sand lightly again.
Drill a hole in the round ornaments and fix them to the cabinet with Screw hooks and mounting glue.
Glue on the remaining ornaments.
After the mounting adhesive has dried, seal the entire cabinet weatherproof with colourless Patio Paint.
Paint the flap inside with Board paint .

Old cupboards or other small pieces of furniture should not be disposed of immediately. They are the ideal basis for very unique, self-designed unique pieces. We have made our garden cabinet from the bedside table shown here.

The inside of the drawer is coated with wipe look and above all with Board paint . This way you can remember exactly which flowers you sawed and when.

The ornaments of the cabinet are cast with casting compound. After drying, simply smooth the edges, paint them and create an antique look with Sandpaper .
