This is an example of how to use faux art in your home. The bathroom cabinet was originally painted white. A paint stripper was used to remove the white paint, with the idea of getting the surface back to the original grain so that it could be stained to let the wood grain show through. The stripper left some of the white showing through and trying to regain the beautiful look of the grain was not possible. I mixed up some artist's oil paints to achieve the light color and this was painted on all of the wood areas. While still wet, I used different shades of darker colors and with a small artist's brush I scribbled in the oak grain designs.
