A Dated Jewelry Box

Good evening. 
Tonight I bring you a quick makeover. 
I had this old dated jewelry box that needed a face lift. 
So that's just what it got. 


First I gave it a coat of red and I just wasn't really feeling it. It didn't wow me like I wanted it to so I didn't bother to do any other coat.  

I went right over the red with my charcoal grey. I was liking that much more. 

I decided to distress it and let the red bleed through a little. Then waxed it with dark wax to seal it. 


Just for that little wow factor I covered the sides of each drawer in a pretty paper. 




Here is one more before and after!

  1. I love your transformation! I see many of these jewelry boxes at thrift stores, but always pass on them because they are so blah. You've inspired me to take a closer look, and maybe pick one up next time, and change it up! Found you via Creative Inspirations. Now following you on Pinterest!
