Copper patina cabinet | creating a faux finish verdigris effect on a metal IKEA cabinet

You may or may not remember a vase I created a few videos back where I created a copper verdigris effect on. I gave myself a challenge to use that technique on a larger item of furniture to see if I could achieve the same look. I found a metal IKEA cabinet on Facebook marketplace which had a cool shape and decided to try it on that. Did I manage to pull it off do you think???

Great project. I even like how it looked with just the bronze and copper. What a great piece. I loved watching the process.
You definitely pulled it off.

[@faffdesigns]

Thank you very much! I loved the copper on its own too! Would have looked stunning just left at that stage

Herbie is a lucky kid. I really like the way you take discarded things and make them beautiful and interesting. Ooo, there's a little life lesson in that, wasn't there?
Also, loved the cameo of your fella.

[@faffdesigns]

Looks gr8 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@faffdesigns]

Thank you!! 😊

[@AllisonL1000]

Have always loved this look! I did a big filing cabinet in a similar way a few years ago before I had heard of DBP. I thought you had to use the patina spray though. I like it better with the painted effect and likely less corrosive than the Dulux one I used!

[@faffdesigns]

Glad you like it! I prefer using the paint over the patina spray too. It’s a much more striking effect

[@wendyk007]

Are you ok? I understand paint can be triggering for some people but make sure you get a hug today 😁
