First I’m a lazy crafter. I take extreme liberties in the least steps possible. I only sand if there’s chipping, and removing hardware is only for spray painting knobs in my book lol!
So with that said im looking for advice plz!

1. This gorgeous cabinet was trash on the side of the road! The two shelves are drying outside. Is there an app that can help me decide on colors? I have many clay molds & wood appliqués from other wood pieces I want to use.. But I often go TOO far, or don’t know when to stop, but because this is unique enough, I don’t want to OVER do it. I thought maybe white or mint or dusty blue with floral wallpaper inside?

2. This chest/coffee table is in great shape except the front has warped leather. I wanted to spray paint the hardware & edges gold & If I cut the leather off the leather just on the one side, will wallpaper cover the fact that it’s wood plank underneath?

Any pics or advice of any kind is appreciated! Thank you!

The wood was too blotchy for stain. It looked like hell after stain so I painted.

The dark varnish completely hid the butcher block top underneath
