Autumn Floral Wooden Box

  Autumn is upon us, friends! When I received this lovely box from a friend, I immediately knew it needed a floral makeover. The newly released Autumn Morning  Dixie Belle transfer  looks absolutely stunning against the pretty green paint, don’t you think?

Jewelry Box Makeover in Fusion Raw Silk, aging wax and bronze metallic


The most popular product on my Creative Moments Etsy Store before Christmas was jewelry boxes. I scored a few more when I was in the city to restock my supply. This one looked like it could use a good relove. 


it is pretty boring but has a nice shape and good storage


I ordered new feet from another Etsy store to give it some height and charm. They were a antiqued bronze look so to update the shiny gold original knobs I used Rustoleum oil rubbed bronze spray paint. This gave a nice cohesive look.


Each foot is affixed with 3 uber tiny screws


Then it was on to the top of the box. I love this Fusion stencil and have used it previously on another jewel box and this sweet nightstand. It along with Fusion's pearl embossing paste create the perfect detailing for this beauty.


I use an off set pallet knife to apply a smooth coat of embossing paste then lift and tadaa. Leave this now to dry overnight and sand it smooth if any areas need it.


Now to add some color, I chose Fusion Mineral Paint raw silk for the paint color. I love raw silk. it is such a pretty warm white color.


Two coats with the Staalmeester sash brush then a little sponge sand distressing once dry and time to add some aging and dimension. I tried Fusion's new antiquing wax color and LOVE it, it is the perfect shade between Fusion's espresso and black. I like to work it in the crevices and edges. Ad to add just a bit of pop, Fusion's metallic paint in bronze was added to the raised stencil and edges too for a bit of sparkle.

This makeover took the plain jane to classic Queen status, agreed?
